Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, but Li Wan was both surprised and delighted. Since Tanchun left the pavilion, due to the distance between Haijiang and Kyoto, communication is inconvenient, and only two or three letters have come back in recent years.

The letter only said that it was very good in Haijiang, and that a daughter was born the year before last, nicknamed Ling'er, and her husband's family loved her very much.

It's just that I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so Li Wan is still a little worried. Now that Tanchun has returned to Beijing, he should be able to stay for a longer period of time. Thinking of this, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam, don't worry, the third sister is back, I want to come to the third son-in-law." It must be back, do we have to ask someone to clean up so that we can welcome the distinguished guests?"

Logically, Qiushuangzhai is the most suitable place to live, but the Grand View Garden has not been inhabited for a long time, and it has been abandoned for a long time, so we can only arrange another guest room.

Mrs. Wang's complexion improved when she heard the words, and she thought that Sanya was always capable, and it would be good if she came back, she could help to give some ideas.

What's more, if the Zhou family intervenes, maybe the Holy Master will take it lightly on Zhou Zongzhi's face. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said to Li Wan: "Quickly ask someone to clean up a clean courtyard and come out, and then order the kitchen to arrange it. Food and wine, tomorrow I will clean up the dust for Grandma Sangu."

Li Wan agreed, and immediately went down to pass on the message.

On the next day, Tanchun came back as expected.

The crowd greeted them from a distance, only to see that Tanchun was wearing a pair of skirts with silver and dark flowers inlaid with lake-colored satin, and a white silk embroidered skirt underneath, which was even better than before.

After Tanchun saluted, seeing Mrs. Wang's haggard appearance, everyone's eyes were swollen and blushing, and when they heard that Jia's mother died of illness and how many things went wrong at home, they couldn't help crying.

All the people standing in the room were in tears, thanks to Tanchun's ability to speak and his insight. After talking slowly for a long time, Mrs. Wang and Fang Lue felt better.

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, only to remember that she had never seen Tanchun's daughter, so she asked, "Where's my granddaughter? Why don't you see her?"

Hearing the words, Tan Chun hurriedly said: "I just carried it in, but the waiter saw us talking and carried it out again." Then he turned his head and told the servant girl: "Go and ask my sister to come in."

It turned out that the servant went to the Zhou family as a dowry, but after Tanchun made the decision, she was betrothed to a steward of the Zhou family. Tanchunnian was loyal and considerate to her, and later asked her to be Ling's nurse.

The maid went, and not long after, I saw a servant dressed as a woman come in with a little girl about two years old in her arms. She was dressed in a light-yellow white butterfly wearing a flowered double-breasted jacket, moon-white cotton trousers with flowers scattered, and her trouser legs were loose. Hanging a red gold silk dish Chi

The Yingluo collar, with its natural powder makeup and jade carvings, has exquisite eyebrows and eyes, just like the boy under the seat of Guanyin.

Since Tanchun learned that Jia's mother had died of illness, she and her daughter changed into plain clothes.

Li Wan saw it and sighed secretly that Tanchun was careful.

Tanchun asked sister Ling to come down and greet everyone.

Although Sister Ling is young, she is very smart. Young adults usually salute Mrs. Wang: "Ling'er pays respects to grandma."

Then they greeted Li Wanyou and others one by one.

Mrs. Wang liked it very much when she saw it, and said: "Is this Sister Ling? She is really born well, and she is a smart child at first glance."

Tan Chun smiled and said: "Ma'am, don't praise her, this girl is weird, she is spoiled by her father."

Li Wan liked the little girl very much, so he immediately hugged Sister Ling to tease her. Sister Ling was not afraid of strangers, she was eloquent and generous, which aroused everyone's eyes. To Tanchun.

Suyun had already prepared the ceremony, knowing that Li Wan and his sisters were very close, and that although Sister Ling was a junior, she should not be too simple, so she made up her own mind and took two horses with ruler heads and two small golden begonias. Kaizi, a pair of gold ring bracelets, and two gold and jade necklaces.

Tanchun hastily thanked you.

Mrs. Wang also prepared a set of gold jewelry for children and a ruler.

The rest of the people also gave gifts to each other, some gave necklaces and bracelets, and some gave zizi rulers, so I won’t go into details here.

After saying things like home affairs and favors, a woman came over to say that the food and wine were ready, and everyone moved to the flower hall.

After the welcome feast, Mrs. Wang went back to rest before her body recovered.

Seeing Tanchun's tired face, and seeing that Sister Ling was fast asleep in her arms, Li Wan said, "My sister has worked hard all the way. I have ordered the guest room to be tidied up. Let's go back and have a rest."

Tanchun had been traveling for days, and was indeed very tired. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The rest of the people also returned to their rooms one after another.

Li Wan wanted to ask about Tanchun's situation in Haijiang in recent years, so he sent Tanchun's mother and daughter to the guest room.

When I arrived in the room, Tanchun ordered the servant to hug Sister Ling and go to sleep, then waved and ordered everyone in the room to retreat, and said to Li Wan, "It's not easy for me to ask in front of everyone just now. I didn't see Sister Feng today, but I went out." What's up?"

Li Wan was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then smiled wryly: "The third younger sister is really smart, and she can't hide anything from you.

The soldiers took him away, and now he is being held in the Prison Temple. "

Tanchun was startled when he heard the words, although he had expected it in his heart, he didn't expect it to be so serious, so he hurriedly asked, "What's the reason?"

Li Wan recalled the scene of Sister Feng being taken away crying that day, and heaved a long sigh, saying: "It is said that it is two charges of champerty and exploitation."

Although I know that Sister Feng deserves what she deserves, but the two have been together for many years and have a good relationship, how could they not feel sad.

Tanchun is so smart, remembering some rumors he vaguely heard at the beginning, he understood after a little thought, and sighed: "Sister Feng is a smart person, but it's a pity that her cleverness was misunderstood by her cleverness, only Sister Qiao and Brother Zhi suffered. "

The two children are still young, and Jia Xie Jia Lian and Sister Feng are both imprisoned. Mrs. Xing has always been stingy, and she is not a real grandmother. I am afraid that the life of the siblings will not be easy in the future.

Li Wan smiled wryly, and said: "Children grew up in front of the Eldest Master, and the Eldest Mistress treats this grandson well. Although it is difficult now, she has never been treated badly for food and clothing. It just so happens that my sister has been wronged a bit." .”

After all, it's a girl's house, and it's not as good as a boy. Madam Xing has always treated her granddaughter indifferently.

Tanchun felt even more sad after hearing this, and only hoped that Jia Lian would come out sooner so that he could protect the two children from growing up.

The next day, the third uncle also came. When he learned about the Jia's affairs, he stayed in Tanchun to persuade him, while he went to inquire about the news.

Afterwards Daiyu Yingchun and others heard that Tanchun was returning to Beijing, so they also came to visit.

Cuimo, Tanchun's servant, also had time to get together with Zijuan and other sisters, and each said goodbye.

From then on, people up and down waited day and night for the letter from above.

Jia She, Jia Lian and others have been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice for many days.

Fortunately, Feng Ziying used to work for Emperor Qingde, and there were quite a few acquaintances in the criminal department who knew that Jia She was his father-in-law, so they secretly looked after him, and Lin Ruhai and others took care of him in various ways, so they didn't suffer much grievance.

After a few days, everyone was anxiously waiting. One day, Jia Zheng was pacing back and forth in his study, when he suddenly heard someone outside say, "Master, please, there is a letter from the inner court."

Jia Zheng came out in a hurry.

Not long after, the decree came out, and the king of Beijing Jing said: "The lord pardoned Jia and the foreign officials because of the censor's participation in the imperial court, and took over the lawsuit.

According to Jia Amnesty's confession, Ping'an Prefecture was originally related to in-laws and did not interfere with official affairs, and the fact that the lawsuit was arranged was actually done by his daughter-in-law, Jia Wang, who pretended to be her name.

Today, Jia Amnesty will be leniently removed from his post, demoted to a commoner, and his family property into an official.

Jia Zhengshi has served abroad for many years.

The official is still diligent and cautious, and he is exempted from the crime of improper governance of the family.Thinking of the imperial concubine's death not long ago, Jia En Dingyou was still walking outside the Ministry of Industry after his filial piety.The family property that was sealed, only those who were amnesty to enter the government, and the rest were returned.

His wife, Jia Wang, hid the property of the offender. The Lord thought that she was the birth mother of a noble concubine. She was old and sick, and she was lenient.

Jia Lian was not strict in running the family and was dismissed from office. His wife, Jia Wang, took over the lawsuit and disregarded the law for ten years.

Jia Zhen forcibly took the wives and daughters of good people as concubines, and the filial piety of the country and family filial piety gathered together for gambling, so it should have been severely punished;

Jia Rongge was dismissed from his title and exiled for five hundred miles. "①

When Jia Zheng heard this, he was so grateful that he kowtowed and thanked Prince Beijing.

King Beijing said: "Although the lord is gracious to return the family property, if there is anyone who violates the prohibition of profiteering, he will be admitted to the government according to the law; if he lives in the law, the documents of the same room will be returned."

Jia Zheng quickly agreed, and thanked him endlessly.

King Jingjing has gone.

After a short stop, another decree came out, and the undertaker followed the decree to check them out one by one. Those who entered the government would go to the government, and those who returned would be returned, and Jia Lian and Jia Rong would be released; ②

Although the Rong Mansion was previously the head of the second house, Jia She was the one who inherited the title, so the Rong Mansion also became an official.

Although the rest of the people said that their property was returned, a lot of it had been robbed when the house was ransacked, and after layers of exploitation, there was very little of the property returned in the end.

Everyone in the Rong Mansion was very dissatisfied, but they didn't dare to complain, so they could only swallow their anger.

On the contrary, Li Wan breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because of her as a butterfly, Sister Feng gave birth to her son safely, and Jia She only took care of her grandson at home these years, and did not commit as many crimes as in the original text.

Now it's just resignation, relegation to common people, confiscation of family property, Jia Zheng's official position is still there, and some property has been returned, which is much better than in the original book.

When Rong Mansion became an official, Li Wan had no choice but to move everyone to the courtyard left by Jia's mother.

At this time, Ningguo's mansion became an official, and all property, real estate and other items, including slaves, had been compiled and collected, and Jia Zhenjiarong was in prison again, so Mrs. Wang had to order someone to pick up You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Fortunately, the courtyard left by Jia Mu has four entrances, which is very spacious and does not feel crowded.

Now except for Li Wan's Courtyard, all the owners of Jia's house left only a few maidservants to serve them personally, and the rest of the servants have been dismissed.

Ten people.

Because Li Wan was a chaste woman, she did not touch her property when the house was ransacked, and all the money and things that Jia's mother had given before were kept, which was enough for everyone's daily expenses.

The next morning, Jia Zheng went inside to thank him, and went to two places in the Beijing Palace and Dongping Palace to thank him.

After noon, Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian were also sent home by Enshi. Mrs. Xing had to cry again when she saw her.

When Jia Lian saw Sister Qiao and Zhi Geer, and remembered that Sister Feng was in prison again, what he had accumulated over the years was no more than Sister Feng's body, no less than [-] to [-] gold.

At that time, Baoyu and others were also there, and Baochai saw that everyone was sad, and felt pain in his heart: I think my brother is still in prison outside. Although he saved his life, he was sentenced to exile. I don't know when he will come back; , but seeing the depression of the family business; although she was pregnant, Baoyu did not see much tenderness, was still indifferent, and had no ambition, and could not stand up for the family. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shed tears.

When Baoyu saw Baochai like this, he felt sad in his heart: thinking that the old lady had just gone, and the family had fallen to this point. Seeing this scene, the master and wife could not help but feel sad.Thinking back to how lively the society was when poetry reciting was started in the garden, now all the sisters are gone, the three sisters come back with great difficulty, and they can't stay for long.

Everyone was crying, when Yingchun Xichun and others came to pay their respects, Mrs. Xing hurriedly wiped away her tears and ordered people to come in.

Then Aunt Xue, Xue Biao, Shi Xiangyun, Baoqin, Aunt Li and others came over one after another to greet you and ask for letters.

When it was time to hold the lamps, the crowd dispersed.

Jia Zheng staggered back to the room. Although he was exonerated this time, after this incident, he seemed to be ten years older.

Mrs. Wang sent Aunt Xue and others back. Thinking of all these days, she felt more and more uncomfortable. She was sitting on the kang with her head down and weeping, when Jia Zheng said, "You send someone to pack up, and we will go back to the South someday." stop."

Mrs. Wang was extremely shocked when she heard the words, and said, "Why did the master suddenly come up with such an idea?"

Jia Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "Our family has suffered a complete defeat, staying in the capital is just a joke, besides, Laner is still young and will have to take the imperial examination to become an official in the future. If we stay in the capital, it will inevitably cause Laner to be ridiculed.

I am almost sixty years old, and Ding You will find it difficult to be promoted even if he recovers after three years. Instead of occupying this official position, it is better to resign and return to Jinling.

One left the capital, after a long time everyone will forget about us

It's a matter of family, and two things. In the future, when Lan'er enters the official career, the Holy Majesty thought that in the interest of my interest, maybe he could be more lenient. "

The ancestors earned great achievements with great difficulty, but they were all defeated by their unfilial descendants. It was really ashamed to see their ancestors. Fortunately, Lan'er was fine. Now the only hope in the family is Lan'er.

Mrs. Wang was silent after hearing this, although she was very sad in her heart, what Jia Zheng said was also reasonable, for the sake of his grandson's future, it was the best policy for them to leave, she sighed and said: "What the master said is true, I will call someone tomorrow Clean up, but what about Baoyu? His daughter-in-law is still pregnant, so how can he make it through the long journey."

Jia Zheng frowned and said, "You don't know Baoyu's temper? You can't stand up for the family, and staying here will add to the chaos. Is it impossible for Lan'er, a nephew, to take care of him? It's better to go back with us.

As for Baoyu's daughter-in-law, she has secured her baby and is being looked after by a maid and mother-in-law. The road is by boat, so it's okay to drive slowly.

Otherwise, when the child is born at the end of the year, the child is too young, and we have to wait another year or two. It is better to go back together this time, and there will be a caretaker on the way. "

Mrs. Wang was silent after hearing this, but seeing that Jia Zheng had made up her mind, she had to agree.

The next day, Jia Zheng resigned on the grounds that he had no way to manage the family. Emperor Qingde didn't agree at first, but he didn't approve until he repeated it three times. Jia Zheng was relieved.

A few days later, Jia Zheng and others packed up and helped Ling return to the south.

Xue Biao decided to return to Jinling because Baoqin was dismissed by Mei Hanlin's family.

Xue Pan has already been exiled, and Aunt Xue also wants to go back to the south with Xue Biao and Xing Xiuyan, so they go together all the way.

From then on, there were only Li Wan, Jia Lan's mother and son in Beijing, and two or three families. Fortunately, Daiyu Yingchun and others took care of them, and Jia Zheng and others were very relieved.

From then on, Jia Lan devoted himself to studying, waiting to graduate.

Half a year later, Tanchun will also go back to Haijiang with her husband, and Li Wan and others meet to practice for her.

Daiyu specially ordered someone to prepare a painting boat, with all the food and wine on board.

Li Wan and Daiyu arrived first, and not long after, Xiangyun, Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun also arrived one after another.

The mothers-in-law and maids pass on the food and wine.

Xiang Yun was the first to raise his glass and laughed, "It's rare that our sisters are so well-equipped, it should be clear!"

Yingchun said with a smile, "Sister Yun is still such a straightforward person." He raised his glass and drank it.

Xichun was also very happy today, and did it all at once.

Tan Chun knew that she was shallow, so he smiled and said, "Don't get drunk, otherwise my brother-in-law will settle accounts with us."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard the words

, Xichun's face was flushed, she gave Tanchun an angry look, and said not to be outdone, "Third sister can only laugh at me, and I don't know who stayed for a while before, so the third brother-in-law came here."

For a moment, Tanchun's face also turned red.

Li Wan watched with a smile all the time, but at this moment he could not help but ask: "Are you hurting the enemy by one thousand and yourself by eight hundred?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Zijuan and the others couldn't help but also burst out laughing.

Xiangyun watched with relish even more, but he didn't stop the wine in his hand, and drank several cups in a row.

Seeing this, Daiyu pursed her lips and said, "Take it easy, I still remember someone's 'fragrant dream' and 'I'm afraid that Shi Lianghua will fall asleep'."

When everyone heard this, they also thought of Baoyu's birthday, when Xiangyun got drunk and fell asleep on the bluestone slab, and laughed.

After talking and joking for a while, everyone raised their glasses again and drank happily.

The Tanchun sisters have their own concerns back then, but now they all have a home, which is better than before, and everyone is happy.

Li Wan took a sip of his wine and looked into the distance, but saw the clear blue sky, the green mountains in the distance, the swaying sails on the river, and the constant traffic.

The author has something to say: this is the end of the main text, thanks to the little angels for their company all the way, and there will be a few more chapters to be updated one after another.
