Fate of the Red Chamber

In July of the 57th year of Kangxi, Jia Huan and Jia Ruizhe returned to Jinling under pressure.

Jia Huan wrote a book on purpose, stating that he would stay in Jinling for three years, and the emperor approved it.At the beginning of July, Jia Huan had already set off.But this time he went to Baye's Mansion and Si Ye's Mansion to say goodbye. In Baye's Mansion, Ba Ye made a special trip for Jia Huan to meet Jia Tanchun.Tanchun had a good life, but he had no heirs all these years, Jia Huan comforted him a few times, then got up and left.But when they arrived at the fourth master's mansion, they originally wanted to see Yu Yunyan, but the fourth master stayed behind, and they didn't say anything between them.But the fourth master refused to let Jia Huan leave, and Jia Huan felt that he did not know what the fourth master was really thinking, so he left in the evening with the excuse that the child was still young.

Early the next morning, Jia Huan left the capital.People in Jia's mansion still lived in Jia Huan's original courtyard. Although the emperor was magnanimous and no longer pursued the crimes of Jia's family, the imperial gifted house was not returned.The same Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang are still in exile and have not been released, so this time Jia Huan can be regarded as a filial piety for his parents.

The road was not very difficult, and he did not leave secretly like the previous time. Ba Ye deliberately sent a lot of things to Jia Huan to take with him on the road for emergencies.Jia Huan accepted it gratefully, and it took more than half a month to reach the boundary of Jinling.

The Jia family came out here at first, but later they slowly moved into the capital because of the great grace of the emperor.There have always been Jia's old house, ancestral hall, and cemetery in Jinling.As soon as Jia Huan returned to the ancestral house, someone came to meet him.

Although the Jia Daishan family moved into the capital, there are other branches of the Jia family.These years, he has been taking care of the Jia family in Beijing. At this time, when Jia Huan came back, the members of the family naturally greeted him with smiles. After a small ceremony was held in the ancestral hall, Mr. Yin and Yang were chosen to choose an auspicious day. , this is the end of the matter.

People in the clan thought that Jia Huan would return to Guangdong soon, but they didn't expect Jia Huan to stay and observe mourning for three years.As soon as they heard that Jia Huan was going to observe filial piety for three years, the elders of the clan hurriedly cleaned up a nice private courtyard and gave it to Jia Huan to live in.

Jia Huan was very grateful, and saw that Jia Ruizhe was almost three years old, reaching the age of enlightenment, so the elders in the clan began to worry about Jia Ruizhe's enlightenment.

Jia Huan has been quietly guarding the spirit. During the day, he works as a teacher for the children in the family's family school, and lives extremely peacefully.

In October, the fourteenth elder brother who had returned from victory was crowned the king of the general by the sage, and the court was full of compliments for a while.The fourth elder brother, who was already enjoying the joy of farming, seemed to be getting farther and farther away from the throne.The ministers in the court are all guessing whether the prince that the emperor secretly values ​​is the fourteenth prince.The originally strife-like atmosphere in the court hall became a little subtle after the emperor's decree.

Jia Huan didn't know what it was like to be the first to arrive in Beijing. Now he only wants to live a normal life.The fearful and intriguing life in the capital has completely left him.

In the second year, I received a letter from Xue Baochai saying that Baoyu disappeared for no reason.

Jia Huan knew that Jia Baoyu's disappearance was not for no reason. In the original book, Baoyu became a monk in the end.The Baoyu that Jia Huan comes into contact with is different from the one in the original book. In the original book, Jia Baoyu is the one who loves her daughter's family the most, and because of the relationship with Daiyu, she eventually becomes crazy.But Jia Huan saw it differently. What he saw was a Jia Baoyu who was opportunistic and used everything for his own benefit.Even when Daiyu was not married to her, what he thought was not how to fight for her, but to find a way to make Daiyu his concubine.

Is it really because of your own reasons?That's why Baoyu made such a deviation.But this idea just flashed through Jia Huan's mind, and there was no further text.Jia Huan immediately wrote back and asked Baochai what was unusual about Baoyu during this period. Baochai's reply made Baoyu more sure that Baoyu's abnormal disappearance was because he met the two Taoists.But how is he going to tell Baochai!Could it be that Baoyu went to become a monk?How could they believe it if they didn't even look for it themselves!

Jia Huan just said in the reply letter that he tried his best to find it, but he didn't give a definite answer.Because he knew Baoyu's ending a long time ago, Jia Huan just sighed twice, but didn't say much.

In a blink of an eye, the three-year filial piety period has passed.Jia Huan handed over the booklet and returned to Guangdong to return to his order. It was already 60 years of Kangxi, and it was really the time when the battle between Beijing and China was the most fierce.Over the years, Jia Huan deliberately did not inquire about what happened in the capital, but there were always people who would tell him these things slowly.He didn't know who came to reveal the news, but Jia Huan never responded.

In the past few years, the emperor's health has been slowly going downhill. After all, Emperor Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight, and has been in power for 60 years. He has reviewed memorials on time every day, and he has not had a good rest. It is not easy.It was because seeing the emperor's body getting worse day by day, the fight among the princes and elder brothers intensified.Although the fourteenth elder brother is deeply favored by the emperor, he has always been on the frontier, fighting on the battlefield.Although the Baye Party in the DPRK is trying its best to fight for the [-]th elder brother.However, the fourth elder brother has the advantage of being close to the water and building first!

Jia Huan, who was about to leave, received an imperial edict from the capital.At first I thought it was the restoration of the official, but I didn't expect that it turned out to be the post of Shang Shulang who returned to Beijing.Originally, Jia Huan wanted to escape as far as possible, but he had to go against his will once again and stepped into the intriguing capital.

After a lapse of seven years, Jia Huan once again saw this gray-haired emperor through the ages.After all, even if a person is strong, he is still no match for the trajectory of time.

Back in Jia's mansion, the mansion has already changed.Jia Lan, who was still studying hard when she left Beijing, is now married.At the beginning, Jia Huan didn't come to watch the ceremony because he wanted to observe filial piety, and Jia Huan was the only male left in the second room, so although he was still young, he was already his third uncle.

Since the family is full of orphans and widows, Jia Huan could not avoid the suspicion of Li Xia in the melon field, so he had to take Jia Ruizhe to move out.

Because Jia Lan saw Jia Huan for the first time after getting married, Jia Huan had dinner in the mansion that night.I haven't seen Baochai for several years, and the originally exquisite and magnificent person now has an old appearance.Adopted a little daughter, the mother and the mother live together.The maids and girls that Baoyu originally wanted also left after Baoyu left. Of those who got married, only Sheyue remained in this cold mansion.

As soon as Yuanyang and Musk Moon met, they went aside to talk.In the main courtyard, only their family was still eating and drinking at the table.

"Is there any news about Baoyu?" During the dinner, when Jia Huan and Jia Lan were talking, Baochai raised her head and asked softly, fearing that her words would disturb everyone.

Jia Huan just felt sad, what kind of virtue and ability did Jia Baoyu make a woman wait for him for so many years.And he!I only thought of myself, and never gave an explanation to others.

"Sister-in-law, the second brother hasn't come back all these years! You should also relax a bit and stop thinking about it!"

"Of course I know that Baoyu will not come back from now on, but we can't even see anyone when he leaves, and there is no one who cares about him in this world, so how hard is he to live?" Miserable!"

Jia Huan shook his head, and finally said, "I haven't told my sister-in-law, just because she is afraid that she will be sad, but my sister-in-law has always been thinking about my second brother. Now I will tell the truth. Someone once saw the second brother in a temple. Brother, Second Brother is no longer a person in the mortal world."

"So he's still alive!" Baochai asked in surprise.

"Yes!"

"That's good! That's good!" Baochai was so excited that she shed tears.She never expected that Baoyu would come back that day, she just worried that there would be no such person as Baoyu in this world.What she is looking forward to is not what Baoyu can bring her, but as long as she knows that he is still alive in this world.How humble is this!What a heavy love!Jia Huan couldn't help thinking in his heart.

Unconsciously, he thought of Daiyu in the past. He also hated Daiyu for harming himself with conspiracy.But in the later days, although it was not love, they got used to the lives of both parties.When giving birth to Ruizhe, it was so dangerous, but she took it on and desperately wanted to hug him.Jia Huan thought to herself, it's not that Daiyu doesn't cherish her own life, but she just desperately wants to leave a little shadow of her in her heart.So persistent, yet so distressing.

The next day, Jia Huan went to the palace in court clothes.There are mandarin ducks at home with Jia Ruizhe, Jia Huan is very relieved.Over the years, he has been thinking of getting Yuanyang to marry, but Yuanyang always thinks of ways to refuse.Staying peacefully by Jia Ruizhe's side, taking care of him like a mother.The relationship between Ruizhe and Yuanyang is also very good. Before the day of Daiyu's death, Yuanyang always remembers and prepares things first, and then takes Ruizhe to visit Daiyu with herself.

This loyalty really moved Jia Huan deeply.But Jia Huan couldn't promise Yuanyang anything, and Yuanyang would not accept such alms.He has already failed the two women, and he doesn't want Yuanyang to become unhappy for the rest of his life.

The emperor has not yet come to court, Jia Huan as a sixth-rank official does not need to go to court, but as a sixth-rank official, it is very good to see the emperor.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, Jia Huan stood outside the door and waited for the emperor.

With a cry, Jia Huan knew that the emperor had returned from court.Kneeling at the door to greet him, watching the bright yellow boots slowly pass by.Suddenly feel a little sad!I used to be so anxious and proud, so unwilling to admit defeat.But here she slowly lost these essences, learned to bow her knees, and learned to obey the majesty of the king. The person who would rather die than kneel had disappeared at the moment of just waking up.Following the fourth master was to prevent himself from becoming a servile slave, but at this moment, he found that the thing he had been holding on to had long since disappeared.

Entering the Hall of Qinzheng, I heard the faint cough of the emperor.He didn't dare to make a sound, let alone make any movements, he could only kneel down in a well-behaved manner without daring to speak out.

"It's been a good time outside all these years!" The tone is still familiar, as if the closest person is talking about homework.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern! Thanks to Your Majesty for his favor these years, the servants can live a less difficult life outside!"

"Well! It looks thinner and taller! It's already a man."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!"

"Since you're back, help me divide the memorial as before!"

"The slave obeys the order!"
