Evening Shaohua in the Red House

Li Wan was talking to Jia Lan when he heard the commotion and came out of the room. Seeing this scene, he was startled. In a flash of thought, he guessed that something had happened. Jia Lan hurried to Jiamu's room.

In the middle of the road, I happened to meet Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Sister Feng and others, and they were also in a hurry. It turned out that everyone was startled by this scene.

At this time, everyone was not in the mood to talk, and after inviting Ann, they all remained silent and rushed to Jiamu's courtyard together.

When I came to the upper room, I saw Mother Jia standing on the porch holding Yuanyang's hand, staring intently at the night sky in the distance.

Everyone hurriedly said hello, Mrs. Wang stepped forward to support Jia Mu's hand, and persuaded: "I have ordered people to inquire about the news. It is windy outside. The old lady might as well go inside and rest."

Mother Jia looked dignified, shook her head and said, "It's okay, just wait, I don't know what's going on outside, so where can I rest?"

Mrs. Wang and the others didn't dare to persuade them any more after hearing the words, so they could only stay by the side.

Yuanyang hurriedly ordered people to move the seats and a big cloak to put on with Jiamu.

At this time, although everyone was in the inner house, they could still hear the faint sound of horseshoes coming from the street, as well as bursts of noise and the sound of swords and swords. They all had suspicions in their hearts, but they dared not speak.

Li Wan looked at the night sky illuminated by the flames in the distance, and his mind was disturbed. Tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the palace will hold a palace banquet as usual. Could it be that someone took the opportunity to assassinate?Or internal turmoil in the palace?

Not long after, Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian also came to pay their respects. Their faces were full of panic, and they sent people back and forth to inquire about the news.

After more than half an hour, Fang heard Lin Zhixiao panting back and forth: "It's a mess outside, many officers and soldiers are fighting, and I don't know what happened!" Jia Mu and others became more frightened and restless.

More than half an hour passed, and no one came back with news, and everyone couldn't help but become more and more anxious.

Fortunately, not long after, Lai Da, who had gone out to inquire about the news, ran in quickly, panting and said: "It's not good, the streets outside are full of imperial guards, they killed many people, and surrounded our streets Now, even Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, across the street is besieged!"

Everyone's expression changed immediately when they heard the words, and Mother Jia was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Can you see clearly? It is indeed the imperial guards?!"

Lai Da wiped the sweat from his forehead, nodded hurriedly and said: "The servant can see clearly, they are indeed the imperial guards!"

Jia She and the others looked at each other

, the face is all discolored.

Li Wan's heart trembled, and the imperial guards were dispatched. It seemed that something happened in the palace. She quickly recalled the identities of the two families in her mind. If she remembered correctly, that Zhang Shangshu was the great The prince's Yue family, could it be...

Li Wan thought of Mother Jia, too. The scene tonight reminded her of the day Prince Yizhong was abolished 20 years ago. I don't know how many people will be involved in this incident tonight. Thinking of this, My heart became more and more worried.

The rest of Mrs. Wang and others were already worried, but when they saw that although Jia Mu had a calm expression on her face, she kept chanting Buddha's name, it was obvious that her heart was flustered, and she couldn't help but feel even more anxious.

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng also have no masters. Jia Lian managed to calm down in response to the sudden change, and said filial piety to Lai Da and Lin Zhi: "The word goes on, the gate and the corner gates are locked, and the boys are in groups of six. No entry or exit."

After that, he went out and summoned a group of servants, led them to patrol and check everywhere, and kept an eye on the movement outside.

Although the people below didn't understand what happened outside, they all knew that something must have happened. They also heard that the Shangshu Mansion was surrounded by the imperial army, and they panicked for a moment. The two butlers, Da and Lin Zhixiao, calmed down and scolded for a while before they calmed down.

Although Sister Feng didn't know the reason, she also guessed that something happened in the palace, her heart was pounding, but her face remained calm. Seeing that the maids and women below were all panic-stricken, she shouted: "What happened outside?" It has nothing to do with us, what are you shouting about?!"

After all, Sister Feng has been in charge of the family for many years and has accumulated a lot of power. Everyone shut their mouths tightly when they heard the words.

Sister Feng glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The guards at the door last night should be tighter, no matter what happens outside, or who calls the door, they are not allowed to open the door!"

Everyone was apprehensive, but they didn't dare to speak, they all agreed in unison.

Mother Jia seemed to have never heard of these things, and she kept staring at the flames soaring towards the palace in a daze. Daiyu and the sisters looked at each other, feeling a little worried.

Baoyu also frowned and said nothing, only supported Jia Mu's hand, and looked at Mrs. Wang worriedly. Mrs. Wang shook her head slightly, signaling him not to worry.

Jia's mother watched for half a day, and when she saw the flames in the distance gradually extinguished, Jia Lian also sent someone to report that the guards on the street had all withdrawn, so she made up her mind.

It was almost four o'clock at this time, and the night was cold and windy. Daiyu was always weak and afraid of the cold, so she couldn't help shivering.

Taking off her cloak and putting it on with her, Daiyu stopped in a hurry and said in a low voice, "Sister-in-law doesn't need it, it's okay."

Zijuan was about to go to the room to get the cloak, when Jia Mu heard the sound and looked over, seeing that Daiyu was pale, and Xiangyun and the others were also tired, she couldn't help sighing slightly, and said, "I'm confused, your sisters are weak , How can I stand it for half a day?"

After that, he ordered Zijuan to help Daiyu go back to her room, and asked Tanchun and Xiangyun to go back to rest.

Seeing this, Sister Feng hurriedly said: "It's the fourth watch, the old lady should go to bed earlier."

Jia Mu was old and frail, and felt a little useless. Seeing that everyone looked tired, she nodded and said, "It's getting late, you all go back to your room to rest."

After finishing speaking, with a tired face, he entered the room holding Yuanyang's hand.

Everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, they had been worried all night, and now they were all exhausted, exhausted and tired, no matter how much they could hold on, they all went back to their rooms one after another.

Li Wan sent Mrs. Wang to the gate of Rongxi Hall. The maids and daughters-in-law of the class had already come forward with lanterns to help her, so Mrs. Wang turned around and said, "Go back and rest, so I can take care of Lan'er, don't be frightened." gone."

Li Wan agreed and asked the maids and women to take care of her carefully before returning to the room.

Jia Lan was waiting at the door. Seeing Li Wan's eyes lit up, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand, raised her head and said worriedly, "Mom, what's going on outside? But what happened?"

Li Wan sighed, "I'm afraid there will be a big mess, but I don't know what's going on."

Jia Lan turned her head to look at the distant night sky when she heard the words, thinking of what her husband said last time, she thought in her heart, could it be that my husband has already reached this point?

Seeing that he was frowning and meditating, Li Wan couldn't help laughing when he saw that he was frowning and pondering. Go cook, you are still young, what to worry about, go back and rest."

Jia Lan nodded when she heard the words, and said, "Got it, mom should rest earlier."

Li Wan went back to the room, washed up and rested, but his mind was full of thoughts, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. He fell asleep in a daze until it was getting dark.

Jia She, Jia Zheng and the others also went back to their rooms, but they couldn't sleep, and they only made people pay close attention to the situation outside.

Not only Jia's mansion, many people in Beijing were worried and did not sleep peacefully that night.

The next day, Li Wan woke up early in the morning, thinking about what happened last night, so he called Danju over and said, "Send a steady and smart person to inquire and see what's going on outside.

That's it. "

Danju agreed, went out and called Mrs. Wu of the hospital to give her instructions, and returned to the house after a while, brought a cup of tea to Li Wan, and said in a low voice: "I heard that my uncle's family sent someone over early in the morning. As for the wife, Lord Marquis Xiao Shi also sent someone over to fetch Miss Yun back."

Li Wan nodded, not surprised at all, the four families of Jia, Wang Xue and Shi were closely related, they were always close, one prospered and the other suffered, and now that such a big event happened, it is natural to let them know.

Not long after, I saw Mrs. Wu talking back and forth with a face full of horror: "It's terrible, it's a mess outside now, I heard that the imperial guards killed many people last night, and General Liu's family on Chang'an Street were all beheaded. There are bloodstains everywhere, even the bluestone is stained red!"

Everyone trembled when they heard the words, and the young girls turned pale with fright.

Li Wan frowned and said, "Do you know what's going on?"

That Mrs. Wu glanced left and right, and said in a low voice: "I heard that something happened in the palace. The First Prince's residence was surrounded by the imperial army, and many houses were raided. Just now, I saw officers and soldiers escorting Zhang Shangshu on the street. What about the family members?"

Li Wan secretly sighed, as she expected, the battle for the throne was really bloody.

This matter was not mentioned in the original book, and it is not known whether Cao Gong concealed it on purpose, or there have been changes in history. I just hope that this time the Jia Mansion will not be implicated.

Thinking of this, Li Wan glanced at everyone, and said seriously: "Let's just hear it today, and no one is allowed to talk about it in the future."

Everyone naturally understood the importance, they couldn't say anything about the Tian family's affairs, if they were heard by others, they might lose their life, so they all hurriedly agreed in unison.

Let’s say that Jia’s mother knew the whole story after meeting people from Shi Wang’s family. It turned out that there was a huge change in the palace last night. It was precisely when you were invited to enter the urn that the rebels led by the eldest prince were all killed, and other ministers also came to escort them after hearing the news. Seeing that the situation was over, the eldest prince committed suicide in front of Emperor Yongyuan.

Now Emperor Yongyuan was furious, all the officials from the First Prince's family were imprisoned, and the people in the court were panicked.

The Jia family has never had much contact with the eldest prince, so there is no need to worry about being implicated, Jia's mother is finally relieved.

In the next few days, there were more and more people who abandoned their posts in the court. Anyone related to the case of the First Prince was imprisoned, ranging from beheading to exile, but in just a few days, the stone slabs outside the Meridian Gate It was dyed red, and there was a chill inside and outside the capital.

That day Jia Lian went out early in the morning to inquire about news. Although he was not good at studying and didn't like to do business, he was easy-going and good at talking. He also made friends with many dudes, and it was easier to inquire about news.

Back in the room at night, Sister Feng has not taken off her make-up yet, and cuts candles to treat each other.

Jia Lian sat down, drank tea, turned away from the screen, and then told the news he had inquired about today.

Sister Feng was dumbfounded when she heard it, and said for a long time: "I also heard a few words in a daze at the old lady's side this morning. It turned out that there was such a commotion. No wonder there has been so much commotion outside these few days."

Jia Lian sighed: "No, everyone said that the Tian family is ruthless. This time, I have seen it. The eldest prince has killed himself, but his followers are still there. This time, the Holy One is furious. Those who ransacked their homes, and those who beheaded their beheads, will be killed." They were scattered all over, but fortunately, the saint is kind, the eldest concubine and concubines were never questioned, but they were confined in the mansion, although there was no way to save their lives like before."

Sister Feng said: "Fortunately, our family has nothing to do with the eldest prince, otherwise we may not escape."

Jia Lian nodded and said, "Who's to say it's not? How can it be so easy to earn from Conglongzhigong? Those people are also confused. Although they can't say they are rich and wealthy, they are not short of food and clothing. Just live in peace and stability. Why bother to take such a risk?" Risk of decapitation."

Sister Feng sneered, gave him a sidelong glance, and said with a smile, "You think everyone is like you, so you have no ambition."

Jia Lian was not annoyed either, stepped forward to hug her, hooked her chin and laughed teasingly: "What do I want that thing for, as long as there are plays and wine to eat, and one more you is enough, every day is romantic and happy, and I will not give it to the king of heaven. Do."

Sister Feng blushed and couldn't help but spit at him.

This turmoil of seizing the throne has involved many people. All the officials who used to be close to the First Prince's family are in danger. Li Shouzhong is also a little worried. Although he stands upright and never participates in court battles, but Earlier, because Zhang Shangshu and Zhang Shangshu belonged to the same department, and they also had contacts from time to time, they couldn't help feeling anxious, but who knew that they had contracted a cold again, so they simply reported illness and stayed at home, shutting their doors.

August 26 was originally Li Shouzhong's birthday, but now that this incident happened, he no longer had the intention of celebrating his birthday, and he never held a birthday banquet. He only had a meal of birthday noodles for his family and set up two tables of banquets.

Li Wan also took Jia Lan back to her mother's house, one to visit the sick, and the other to pay homage to her birthday. Fortunately, Li Shouzhong only felt a little ailment occasionally, and it was not a serious problem.

Jia Zheng was depressed at first, but when he heard that Baoyu was fighting with others in school, he was annoyed.

He gave Baoyu a hard reprimand, made him think about his mistakes behind closed doors, and never mentioned the matter of teaching Baoyu a teacher.

Fortunately, this turmoil finally subsided gradually, and the whole court deliberately forgot about it, and it still looked like the world was peaceful.

No one mentioned the tragic situation outside the Meridian Gate that day, and Chang'an City, which had been quite deserted before, became lively again.

Everyone in Jia's family also gradually forgot what happened that night, and ate wine and watched theaters as usual.

However, for some reason, Li Wan felt a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that there was a terrifying storm hidden under this peaceful appearance, which would erupt again one day.
