There is no phoenix

To Baoyu's own surprise, he did not ask Jia's mother or Mrs. Wang about his engagement to Baochai this time.Now that it has become a fact, what can be changed?

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Baoyu seemed to have nothing happened, and still brought Mingyan, Li Gui and a few servants to study at home.It's just that Qiuwen and Sheyue were a little surprised. From getting up to going to school, Baoyu's face was sombre, and Baoyu didn't hear a word.

In a blink of an eye, it was September eleventh.In the afternoon of this day, Mei Qing came back from the outside and quietly told Daiyu that the army from the Western Expedition had returned, because the emperor was going to personally go to the Jingxi Military Camp to reward the soldiers of the three armies, and it would be a few days before Shui Rong Feng Ziying and the others would be free.

When Daiyu heard this, she was pleasantly surprised and turned into melancholy.The words of Jiamu and Baoyu were all stuck in his heart like needles, and he couldn't stop.

After breakfast the next day, Daiyu was teasing the parrot under the eaves, reading her poems to it, when Tanchun's maidservant came over and said, "Miss Lin, our third lady asked you to come over, let's talk for a while. The girl will come back, said to get together, and people have already called the fourth girl."

After hearing this, Daiyu hurried into the house to tidy up, and brought Zijuan with her book.

It turned out that a few days before Yingchun sent a girl back to take a look, just in time for Mrs. Xing to make a fuss, so she begged Sun Shaozu, saying that she had not been back since returning home.Now my mother, Mrs. Xing, is in trouble and wants to go back and have a look.

Sun Shaozu's face was very unhappy, but after a while, someone explained: "You can go back and ask your father about the 5000 taels of silver. He said that we are expanding the house and waiting for it. You can only stay there. One day, come back early tomorrow afternoon, if your father pays back the money this time, I have no problem with you if you want to go back in a few days. If your father still says there is no money, then don’t blame me for being merciless!"

Yingchun was flustered and hurriedly promised to return tomorrow.

When Daiyu came to Qiushuangzhai where Tanchun lived, Xichun also brought a color screen, and Tanchun Yingchun was talking together.

It turned out that after Yingchun came back, she had already met Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Xing took the tonic brought back by Yingchun, and only asked a few words without asking in detail.Yingchun asked Jia Amnesty again if he was at home, and Mrs. Xing said he had gone out early in the morning.

Yingchun remembered that Sun Shaozu wanted to ask about the 5000 taels of silver, so there was no way to ask Mrs. Xing for it at this time, so she had to say that she wanted to talk to Tanchun Xichun, so she went to Tanchun's Qiushuangzhai first.

Seeing Yingchun coming, Tanchun hurriedly sent people to invite Daiyu and Xichun.

Tanchun Xichun Daiyu saw that Yingchun came back this time, although she didn't speak much as before, she had a little more sadness on her face.Tanchun hurriedly asked: "Second sister, you are in the Sun family, is it because brother-in-law Sun treats you badly?"

Yingchun tearfully said: "Third sister, Lin sister, fourth sister, you don't know what kind of life I'm living. It's been like this for less than a month now, and I don't know what will happen in the future."

After hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly asked, "Second Sister, what's the matter?"

Yingchun cried: "I didn't know that I was betrothed by the master in this way. Sun Shaozu was blindly lustful, gambling, and drinking. I heard that all the daughters-in-law and girls in the family would go to adultery. I didn't know until more than ten days later. Yes, after a little persuasion two or three times, he even yelled at me as "the vinegar juice wife wrung it out". He also said that the master once took five thousand silver from their grandson's family, and he borrowed it from their hometown in Datong when he returned from the Western Expedition. , and never returned it to the Sun family. He also said that he asked the master on the day he returned home, and asked for it two or three times a few days ago, but the master did not give it."

Xichun said: "Why is this happening? The Elder Master is not really short of the 5000 taels of silver, is he?"

Yingchun said with tears: "I didn't believe it at first. I just asked my wife, and she said it was true. Sun Shaozu pointed at my face and scolded me, saying, 'Don't pretend to be your wife with me! Your father gave me five thousand Yinzi, I will sell you to me at a discount. Okay, I will beat you up and drive you to sleep in the servant's room. When your grandfather was there that day, I hoped to show the wealth of our grandson's family, and rushed to get along with you. Logic Your father and I are of the same generation, and now I am a generation later than my head, and I have made this relationship with my parents, but it doesn’t make people look like snobbish.” He has been with him for a few days Live with people brought from home.”

Tanchun and Daiyu Xichun were amazed when they heard this.Yingchun said while crying sobbingly.Seeing that Yingchun was so sad, Daiyu and Tanchun Xichun couldn't help crying, and after consoling her for a while, the three of them accompanied Yingchun to see Mrs. Wang.

At Mrs. Wang's place, Yingchun couldn't help but tell about the fact that she was sent off to get married by Jia She's discount of [-] silver, and then gave a general account of her situation in Sun's house, and said that Sun Shaozu only let her stay at home for one day.Mrs. Wang also lamented, and said that the old lady is now old, don't let the old lady know about this, everyone naturally agreed.

Now the hereditary lineage of the Rongguo Mansion is Jia She, who borrowed money from the Sun family to marry his own daughter, and they have been married for a month now, who dares to say such a thing again?Besides, the money of officials in the mansion is tight now, even Mrs. Wang, in order to collect the money for Yuan Chun in the palace, she also took great pains.What's more, Baoyu's wedding is about to be prepared, and a lot of money is needed.For Yingchun's experience, I can only sigh.

Yingchun stayed in the original house in the Grand View Garden for one night, and soon after lunch, someone from the Sun family picked her up.

It turned out that the Sun family only hoped that Jia Amnesty could help Sun Shaozu solve the matter of being a candidate for the Ministry of War.But now I know that Jia Amnesty never asked anyone to say a word, let alone begged the emperor.Moreover, Jia She was a little worried that the emperor would summon him during this time.

It turned out that when the army marched westward, Jia Amnesty didn't want to go westward at all.There are several little aunts in the family, and Jia She is a lustful person, and he also knows that Jia Lian secretly has ambiguities with these aunts, so Jia She can't let it go when he goes to the west for at least a few months.But the emperor's order was in his body, and Jia She did not dare to disobey it. When he was approaching the Yumen Pass, Jia She fell off his horse on purpose, but he did not expect that he broke his leg, so he could finally come back after his wish came true.

On the way back, Jia Amnesty couldn't help having fun, so the money he carried quickly ran out.So as long as I knew the old colleagues along the way, I paid a visit to get some benefits by the way.Because after all, he is the hereditary first-class general of the Rongguo Mansion, and he is also the uncle of Concubine Xiande in the palace.When Jia She was drunk and full, he couldn't help bragging about it, and those old colleagues naturally flattered him in every possible way.

Jia Shen's fun and enjoyment along the way was quite chic, and he got tens of thousands of money for various reasons.After returning to the capital, why does Jia She really want to pay back all the money?What's more, after a few years, my surplus has already been exhausted, and my salary is often beyond my means.Especially thinking about the Sun family's money, Jia Amnesty never wanted to pay it back from the beginning, because he had already given a daughter as compensation.

Sun Shaozu knew from the people sent by his hometown that Jia Amnesty agreed to help and was willing to marry his daughter to him, so he was naturally indescribably happy.So after Jia She returned to Beijing, I waited for more than ten days without any news, so I tried to marry Yingchun in a hurry. I thought that Jia She hadn't spoken for me after returning to Beijing. .

But a few days after getting married, Sun Shaozu saw that Jia Amnesty still had no reply, so he deliberately mentioned the 5000 taels of silver when he drove back to the door.Who knew that Jia She's hesitating and haggling just shouldn't do it, and as time went on, seeing that there was no hope of getting back the money, and it was impossible to ask Jia She for help, Sun Shaozu was furious, and only vented his anger on Yingchun.

Yingchun returned to Sun's house, feeling tired, so she went into the house to rest for a while.

After lunch, Yingchun and Yatou Xiuju did needlework for a while, thinking about money, they were full of panic.When he woke up again after a break, it was already sunset.Thinking that Sun Shaozu might come back soon, he tidied up and went out.

Yingchun came to the front yard and saw Sun Shaozu coming back from the outside, so he hurriedly greeted him.He also personally helped Sun Shaozu make tea and served it to Sun Shaozu.Sun Shaozu took a sip of tea and asked, "Did you see your father when you went back?"

Yingchun said: "I saw it, but I didn't say anything, and it was night again. I ate at the old lady's place with a few sisters."

Sun Shaozu said: "Then did you ask about the 5000 taels of silver?"

Yingchun said: "It's really hard for me to ask. Besides, I only saw my father twice, and he left after saying a word or two, so I didn't ask."

When Sun Shaozu heard this, he suddenly threw the teacup on the ground, and said angrily, "Why are you so stupid! You are also the master of the Sun family here. I won't say anything about the money others owe us, but you have to find a way to get it back. My brother is still clear about the account, but you didn’t open your mouth! No wonder you were the housekeeper of your third sister when you were in your natal family. If you were the housekeeper, I’m afraid the family would have been ruined by you! I never thought that my grandson, Shaozu, would marry such a wooden person like you!”

After Sun Shaozu finished speaking, he got up and kicked a stool next to him vigorously. The stool flew up and hit Yingchun's feet.
