[Red Mansions] The Road to Empress Dowager

Shen Man was poked at the most painful place by the phrase "Concubine Jing", and as soon as she saw the attacker, she stepped forward, brushed her ears left and right, and hit her palm painfully.

She had fingernails on Xiren's face, and Jia Huan finally couldn't bear it and grabbed Shen Man's hand, and said in a low voice, "Ma'am, you're angry too, let's go back and talk about it!"

When Xiren heard Jia Huan's words when his cheeks were red and swollen and his ears were buzzing, his heart became more bitter, and he thought, "Didn't you pull her away from the beginning, hoping to let her vent some anger, and then make a big deal go away?" ?Why don't you bear it yourself, but ask me to suffer this suffering?

The pain in Xiren's heart was beyond words, and he cried secretly: God, what did I do wrong, you want to punish me like this?How did I go blind and insist on dating such a man?Jia Baoyu was a good-for-nothing back then, but this Jia Huan was not a good-for-nothing, but he had no intention of protecting his daughter sincerely.Jia Baoyu was able to watch Jin Chuan'er die in vain, and did not dare to stand in front of women. This Jia Huan has some abilities, but he only considers his own interests.Why arrange such two men to control her fate?

Shen Man said: "Since it is the third master, your girl and concubine, there is no reason to stay outside, take them all back to the mansion."

At this time, Jia Huan no longer expected her to be virtuous and generous, and said: "If you want to raise a son, we can just give birth to a son-in-law ourselves, why bother raising someone else."

Shen Man said hehe: "Since I am the third master's flesh and blood, why should I call me 'mother'?"

Mother Hua stepped forward and said, "Third Master, Ran'er can't leave, I will take good care of him, no one loves her, I am a grandmother's pain!"

Nanny Zhang beside Shen Man sneered and said: "Who are you, dare to call yourself the young master's grandmother? The young master's grandmother is the county head, and that is the blood of the emperor Tai/Zu!"

Although Shen Man doesn't really love Jia Ran, she is his mother in terms of etiquette, and county master Xianning is of course Jia Ran's grandmother in terms of etiquette.This also shows the improper status of Xiren's outer room.

Shen Man said: "Take someone away! I'll see who dares to say that I am not the child's mother!"

Shen Man said and left in a huff, ignoring Jia Huan, and had her own confidant to help her clean up.County Lord Xianning was originally an arrogant and pernicious character. Back then, the concubine daughters had a hard time living in the Shen family. They could only live well if they flattered Shen Man and acted as gunmen or clowns for Shen Man.The companion house chosen by the County Lord Xianning for his daughter is all trained capable men, how can the Hua family be their opponents?

Xiren was also dragged away and entered Jia's mansion. At night, Shen Man was locked up in the firewood room. Jia Ran was just babbling, and was carried away by Nanny Zhang. She even brought a nanny with her and arranged a room at will.

It was night, Jia Huan was sleeping in the study, and Shen Man also wet the pillow towel with tears when he returned to his room.

The next day, Shen Man and Jia Huan made a fuss about it again. Not only Aunt Zhao came to see it, but Mrs. Xing and Wang Xifeng also came to persuade them to fight when they heard about it.After all, the family hasn't been completely separated, and the Jia family's face will not look good if there is a big trouble.

Aunt Zhao is precious to her grandson, but she has no such affection for Xiren, and she also knows that she is not a match for her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Wang is also watching the play, she has no power anymore, and she is very happy to see Jia Huan, who has always been proud and does not take her seriously, making a fool of herself.

Coincidentally, it was the twelfth lunar month, and Jia Baoyu, who had won the exam but was studying at Baishui Academy, also returned home to prepare for the New Year.Although he lived in the Rong Mansion, when he knew his parents were released from prison, he would come to the East Court as soon as possible to greet Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang.

All the people gathered together, and Jia Baoyu saw that everyone was discussing the family affairs in the main hall of the east courtyard.At this time, without the influence of "psychic treasure jade", Jia Baoyu is really a good son of the world.Regret because of all the things that hurt his daughter in the past, and also sad because of the difficulty in his true feelings for Lin Daiyu, this good son has a touch of melancholy in his eyes that makes women feel distressed.

Because he entered the room, the noise in the main hall stopped, and everyone turned their attention to him. Jia Baoyu paid respects to Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang, and reunited with Wang Xiyan and his wife.

Jia Baoyu looked at so many people in the hall and said, "What's wrong?"

Xiren knelt in the hall, dazed and feeling sorry for himself, but when Jia Baoyu came back, his sanity gradually became clear.

Suddenly, she raised her head, looked at him, and called out, "Second Master, help me!"

Jia Baoyu was taken aback, looked carefully, and finally recognized it: "Xi Ren! Why are you?"

After waking up, Jia Baoyu still felt apologetic for the thing that drove Xiren back then. When he didn't escape or covet enjoyment, he understood that what Xiren said back then was really good words.

Xiren didn't say anything, but just cried: "Second Lord, because I also served attentively back then, save me and my son! I don't want to be an aunt, and I don't want to stay in Jia's house, so I just want to take my son with me. Walk."

Jia Baoyu thought to himself: "Could it be my son? Xiren served him back then."Thinking of the past, he couldn't help but feel a fever on his face, feeling ashamed in his heart, but he didn't want to be as irresponsible as before, he had to arrange a life for her.

Daughters are suffering in this world, so he can only be distracted by the daughters around him.

But Mrs. Wang quickly reassured him, saying that after Xiren left the mansion, he followed Jia Huan for some reason, and hinted whether he would have secretly communicated with Jia Huan for the song "I live in Cao Ying and my heart is in Han" .In the past few years, it turned out that Jia Huan had raised her outside, and gave birth to a son for him last year.

Hearing Mrs. Wang's words, Xiren hurriedly said: "Second master, I didn't! I met the third master after I went out. I just cooperated with the third master to open a shop and start to make a living for the family. You let me out that day , and didn't say that I can't match people, I only met the third master, and later my business was stable, and I was getting older, so I followed the third master."

Although Jia Huan hates others and feels uneasy when he sees his old lover, he knows that a good reputation is good for him. Instead of secretly communicating with him in the early years, it is better to have the feelings of knowing and helping each other later.This Shen family has made a fuss, so she can only let it go gently.

Jia Huan said: "Second Brother Bao, what Pearl said is true. At that time, I didn't have any foundation at hand, and I was short of people. Later, I met Pearl, so I cooperated with her to do business. Pearl has no other good place. But go, I don't care about the past, I thought it would be okay to take care of her for the rest of my life, so I took her in. If you mind, it's my brother's fault."

At this time, Jia Baoyu certainly didn't care about women's chastity, and he didn't have the mentality that the women he had used could not be with others.Even in the original novel, Xiren was paired with his good friend Jiang Yuhan.

Jia Baoyu said indifferently: "Why did the third brother say that? Since you have this fate, I wish you well."

Baoyu used to be weak and incompetent, but he still had a pure heart. There is no need to blame this point. Now he is not affected by that stubborn stone, and his true temperament is kind.

Xiren shook his head and cried, "Second master save me! Third grandma won't let me, and third master can't protect me. I don't want to be third master's aunt anymore. I just want to take Ran'er away!"

Aunt Zhao said: "Ran'er is Huan'er's flesh and blood, how can he go with you?"

Xiren looked at Jia Huan again and said, "Think about when you were a child, did you really want our son to stay in Jia's house? Can you protect him?"

Shen Man sneered, looked at her, and said, "Mr. Hua, what do you mean? Do you mean that I will harm the third master's flesh and blood?"

The attacker didn't answer, knowing that Jia Huan was a selfish ghost, and Shen Man was so arrogant that Jia Zhengwang's wife, Aunt Zhao, couldn't save their mother and child at all.

She begged Jia Baoyu, she suddenly became enlightened, and went to Mrs. Xing again, saying: "Madam, please, you are the most merciful, please help me! I... I also know the empress! The empress did not enter the palace back then." Gongqian came to the mansion as a guest, and I also...served her. Please help me for the sake of the empress!"

Mrs. Xing was watching a play, and she couldn't help but feel slightly moved when she heard about the queen, but this is the other house's business.

Mrs. Xing said: "Xi Ren, this... How can I help you? After all, it is a matter in Huan'er's room. How can I be the master?"

Xiren kowtowed to Mrs. Xing and said, "Madam, please save me! Madam, please come into the palace, please help me once! Please tell Madam, Pearl knows that she is wrong. Pearl has blinded her eyes and darkened her heart. Pearl knows that the Empress Empress has long given up Pearl in her heart, and that the child is innocent, so she begged her to give the child a lifeline. The empress will understand, really! Madam, I really know the empress! Just help me this time, you If you help me fulfill my wish, I would like to thank my wife with half of my property!"

Hua Zhenzhu knew that with Shen Man around, her Hua family would not be able to stay in the capital. If she left her son behind and left her alone in Jia's mansion, in the future, if she was lucky, she would be Jia Huan from the original novel or even worse. If unfortunately, she would die young or be disabled .Being a mother is strong. She has been tossed like this in her life or two lives, but she can't let her son have no hope.

She is a modern person, has heard about Sichuan, and knows the changes and opportunities in Sichuan, and there is no intertwined relationship like Kyoto.

Only Xin Xiuyan would welcome investment and welcome businessmen to promote employment and GDP growth. Maybe small businesses can survive without officials behind them. Besides, the Datong Army is the largest organization in Sichuan now, and the leader is the queen.In Sichuan, her son would not be discriminated against so much because he was a son of a foreigner, and he was more likely to get a fair chance. No one would oppress him with ethics and ethics to hinder his education.

As long as you have money and the opportunity to create a happy life with free labor, which is a luxury in Beijing, why bother with a heartless man?Not getting shelter and love, but also suffering a lot of grievances, and being oppressed by this ancient ethics and etiquette.

She doesn't expect Jia Huan to give her the status of a master, she sees clearly that he is the most selfish person.Yes, he is not stupid, he didn't say that Qiong Yao's true love can't help it, he won't bear so much for her.

She also finally understood that if she did not speak morally to others, then no one in the world would speak morally to her.

What she wants must come at a price.Maybe Jia Baoyu would say something for her, but Jia Huan probably cared more.After all, Jia Baoyu is an ancient person. Maybe he thinks that everything is good at home, and it is good for her to help her become an aunt and live in the house. What she wants is freedom of life, property security, and the right to make money.What a luxury in ancient times!But there is only one person who can understand this, and it is easy to do.

Mrs. Xing will not bully others or violate the criminal law, but she still loves money, and she can't help being moved when she hears about half of the family's wealth.The cooperation between the Hua family and Jia Huan in doing business was also spread out today. If the dry shares of so many shops and farms were to be split, it would be a huge sum of money.However, if there is no one to help the Hua family, I am afraid that even if they are good citizens, they will not be able to defend much against Shen Man's influence.

Mrs. Xing said: "It's hard for an upright official to take care of housework, and the empress takes care of everything every day. How can she have time to take care of your affairs?"

This incident made Jia Huan very passive and embarrassed. He is a person who wants face. In the past, Mrs. Jia Zhengwang was beaten in the face several times, but he himself is still great and upright.She didn't expect that this time, she would marry someone who was more pungent than Wang Xifeng.No, Shen Man is not pungent, she is arrogant, Wang Xifeng is at least afraid of her elders, but no one in the second room can suppress her now.

Jia Huan always wanted to let this matter go gently, the family saw the joke was irreversible, so don't make trouble outside.

At this moment, seeing Xiren asking for help, he couldn't help saying, "Pearl, do you know what you're doing?"

The act of attacking people was Ning's mistake to Xin Xiuyan. Although he had already treated Xin Xiuyan as a monarch and minister, but Xin Xiuyan didn't mention that matter, and he avoided it. There was no intersection in private matters.

He barely held back the man's dignity, and he also knew Xin Xiuyan's personality in his heart, as long as she didn't offend her again, she would not avenge her privately.

Xi Ren said: "Jiahuan, it's been so many years, please let me go, if I am a hindrance to your family, then I will let you go. Just please guard your third grandma and don't bother me again. For Ran'er, As a father, please really love him once and let him be with me. When he grows up, I will not prevent him from recognizing his ancestors, but I am the only mother he has! "

Jia Huan's face changed, and he said, "You think...you can leave on your own?"

Xiren shed tears and said: "I don't know, but I know that fame and wealth in this world are not so easy to 'borrow'. There is no eternal night in the world, and there is nothing that can stop people from pursuing light. I hope Ran'er will not Like you, not like me, he should have a brilliant life. I hope he can experience the true love that you and I have never met when he grows up."

In the past, Hua Zhenzhu acted like dissatisfaction and jealousy towards Xin Xiuyan. He thought she was a woman's opinion, but he never thought that when she confessed her mistakes and repented, he would feel a kind of embarrassment deep in his soul.In the past, seeing women abandoning phoenix eggs one by one, he felt a kind of joy in his heart, but now even his most realistic time-traveling companion, his fiancée in the previous life, abandoned him.

She felt that he was not worth relying on, and would rather break through the little woman's heart and open up her own past.

He suddenly discovered that this crisis really made Hua Zhenzhu realize that she was no longer the woman he could condescend to mentally.

Jia Huan suddenly felt very lonely.

Shen Man heheed: "Sure enough, you are a cheap hoof, what are you talking about..."

Xiren took a deep breath, ignored her, and only asked Mrs. Xing: "Madam, please help me once, I dare not ask for anything else, I just want to go to Sichuan to invest and do business safely! Please tell the empress , I can use my labor to create value and contribute to the construction of Sichuan! I am a good citizen, as long as my wife helps to find the empress, my promised gift is absolutely true!"

If Shen wants to make Hua's family look good, Xiren can't think of anyone who can protect her family and leave with their wealth, and arrive in Sichuan safely to start again.

Shen Mandao: "What kind of wealth do you have? It belongs to the third master. How can you let it be occupied by you? You still want to ask the queen to make the decision? Even the emperor and I can't do this!"

Mrs. Xing was just moved by her heart, but she always regarded Queen Xing as her Guanyin Empress. She said that other things are fine, but once a person's belief is insulted, she has to be angry.

Mrs. Xing smiled lightly: "Brother Huan's family, can you still invite the emperor and Lao Tzu to disown the empress? You also came from the palace. What is the end of this disrespect to the empress? A few years ago, the empress Before returning to court, the sage cut off several gossips."

Shen Man couldn't help changing color, she dared not speak out, she was really afraid that Xing Xiuyan would not let her go.Suddenly, she felt that Mrs. Xing's words "You are also from the palace" reminded everyone present of her stains as "Concubine Jing", and couldn't help but blush.Shen Man looked at Jia Huan, but although Jia Huan didn't dare to offend her, he could still ignore her.What Shen Man did this time naturally made him extremely angry, but he was just forbearing for the sake of the overall situation.

Mrs. Xing was very satisfied with hitting a snake and hitting seven inches. Although Wang Xiyan was Baoyu's daughter-in-law, she also knew that her sister was married to Mrs. Duan and was a direct descendant of the empress.And my father had expelled my mother-in-law, and also intended to make friends with the queen. She lived in the Rong Mansion and always flattered Mrs. Xing, and she was courteous with Mrs. Wang.

Therefore, Wang Xiyan smiled and said: "Third brothers and sisters, my wife is also doing it for your own good, and doesn't want any trouble in the family. Besides, Xiren has long been a good citizen, and the Hua family's property naturally belongs to the Hua family. This is not a problem. I must ask the empress, that there is no reason for you to seize the wealth of the good people when you arrive at Jingzhao Mansion."

Jia Huan knew that this matter was going to Jingzhao Mansion, so he was ashamed, and hurriedly said: "Third Grandma, I cooperated with the Hua family, and the written records are still there, and their family's wealth is indeed not mine."

Shen Man's eyes were fierce, but she thought that the attacker had something to do with Xing Xiuyan. If she couldn't move on the surface now, no matter whether she was a pariah with a conscience afterwards, she would always find a way to make her suffer.
