Old things in the Red Chamber

The matter of the historian and the Wei family caused an uproar in the elite circles in Kyoto.

Many people are curious about how this incident happened, what happened, and why it turned into this result in the end.But the two families kept silent, allowing outsiders to speculate.

On the day of the engagement, the banquet was held at the historian's house. Everyone who attended the banquet was beaming with joy. The people of the country knew the rules. People live for face. Even if there are various things in the middle, they will not ask about it on this occasion.

Shi Taijun, as the aunt of the older generation of historians, brought the ladies and ladies of the family to put on a show, and came to the door in a high-profile manner. She also has the intention of reconciliation, and the historians also understand her actions. Having said that, even if the relationship is made up, The rift is still there, and it is impossible to return to the original relationship.

The two Mrs. Hou of the Shi family came out to welcome everyone in, arranged the ladies in the garden, and greeted Shi Taijun to the main room.

Jia Tanchun took his maid and followed into the main room. The room was full of old servants. They were very enthusiastic when they saw Shi Taijun, and praised Jia Tanchun vigorously. Shi Taijun said that he didn't care about the marriage of the younger generation. After all, he couldn't let it go, watching Jia Tanchun being pulled to touch his hands, who pulled his face, and waited for everyone to look at his granddaughter before sending Jia Tanchun out.I scanned the crowd, but I didn't see the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Zhongwuhou Mansion, so I didn't care, and deliberately let out a word, saying that my granddaughter is not young, please help me to pay attention.

The orders present agreed one after another, but none of them were moved, and Shi Taijun couldn't help feeling chills in his heart. It seemed that the third girl's marriage had come to an end.Shi Taijun is an old man, and he thought in a blink of an eye, if he can't become the original wife, he can fill in the house.Since it is filling the house, it should not be too low. I heard that there is a county king in the clan whose concubine is gone. It should be a good match for my granddaughter.This is something to think about.

Jia Tanchun was taken to the garden by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Master Shihou's family. There are also several unmarried eldest princesses who are also admiring the flowers in the garden.

Jia Tanchun went to see them first. These eldest princesses were young and were born in the last few years of the emperor's reign as emperor. The queen mother didn't care about them, and they were a little arrogant in the past. Now, the emperor is worrying about their marriage. .

Today the three eldest princesses came and were talking about Buddhist things. They didn't care when they saw Jia Tanchun, and they didn't pay much attention to the daughter of a fifth-rank official.

Jia Tanchun retreated, and was not in a hurry to find his sisters. He sat by the rockery not far from the pavilion, where several princesses sat.

Before and after the rockery here, some eunuchs and maids in the palace are resting their feet.

At the beginning, he was still like a wooden man, and when the food and wine were served, some people began to gossip.

"Oh, it's still a comfortable life outside the palace."

"Old sister can't say that. The life in the palace has been comfortable in recent years. The empress dowager doesn't care about things, and the fourth concubine is much more relaxed."

"That's right. If it were me, I would hope that the four empresses would always be in charge of the palace. It's a pity that Concubine Jia is also a wonderful person. Without her, life in the palace would be..."

"Old sister," a voice advised her, "don't talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes, thank you sister for reminding me."

Jia Tanchun was drowsy at first, but after hearing this, he thought it was strange that his elder sister was really dead.If you want to listen again, the others stopped talking a long time ago and just eat and drink.Jia Tanchun knew that he couldn't hear anything else today, so he took his servant and left.

"Girl, if we wait a little longer, maybe..."

"What they said was just for me. It means that the big sister died strangely. They just want to reveal a little bit of meaning. Even if they hear it at night, they won't say much. There is no need to listen to it anymore. I originally wanted to listen to the outside world. important event, but who wants to become someone else's pawn."

"The girl, how can I tell the old lady when I go back?"

"Why do you say it? Needless to say, we can't take revenge if we say it. I reckon that the eldest sister should have died of strife in the harem. They will reveal one or two purposes, and it's not to drag the second sister into trouble. Our wife Now I'm dazed because of my eldest sister and second elder brother, it's useless to talk about it, but it will bring disaster to the family."

After walking a few steps, he solemnly said to the waiter, "Forget what happened just now. If my wife asks me, I will kick you out."

"Taipu Siqing is an idler, and you are young. Putting you there will only waste your time. You can go to Youwuwei tomorrow." The emperor ordered Jia Xun who was standing in front.

Jia Xie thanked him, knowing in his heart that the emperor was starting to make arrangements.This is also good, I have also touched the military power.Speaking of it, I was able to return to the army again, relying on nepotism, which made Jia Xuan very upset. Although Hefei didn't ask him to be an official, the existence of the Ninth Prince is the fastest way to realize his ambition.

When Jia Xuan left the palace, he let out a long breath.That's fine, anyway, since I'm back in the camp, it's a good thing that I don't have to worry about paperwork in a square inch.

If you have a happy event, you must invite friends to celebrate it. Jia Xuan and Qi Erwai Wangjianglou waited for more than half an hour, and Gu Yun's Chang Sui came to apologize on his behalf, "Our fourth master can't come, and we are about to leave today. When I went down to the yamen, someone submitted a pleadings, alas, I dare not talk nonsense about such a small matter, the fourth master said that you two should drink first, and everyone will know about this case tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he covered his face with his sleeve in shame, covered his face and went downstairs.

"Why is he covering his face? Could it be that this case is known and shameless?" Qi Er squeezed the beans and watched the old servant of the Gu family go downstairs, wondering to himself.

Jia Huan was also very curious, and advised him, "Don't worry about it, you'll find out tomorrow."

After a while, trouble came. People from Zongren Mansion and Shuntian Mansion came together, holding chains, and wanted to interrogate Jia Xuan.

The people in Shuntian Mansion are quite polite, but the attitude of the people in Zongren Mansion is much worse.Without listening to the explanation or explaining the reason, he escorted Jia Xuan out of Wangjiang Tower.

Jia Gu soon found out about the news, and rushed to Shuntian Mansion without even looking for his home. After he went there, he found out that the case had been transferred to the clan's mansion. He asked the left-behind yamen servants, but no one could tell how the case turned out. thing.

Jia Gu couldn't do it, so he went to the clan mansion again, and the clan mansion didn't sell courtiers' face.Jia Gu drank a lot of water, but he didn't see Jia Xun or the person in charge of the clan's mansion.

He was called back by the people of Princess Anyang.Jia Xun's father-in-law, Qi consort, is already waiting for him at the Hou Mansion.

"Dear family, the princess went to inquire about this matter. The old prince of the clan's mansion is the princess's uncle, and they are all in the same family. He told the matter. Our children also suffered disasters."

"Dear family, what's the matter? My son is fine, why was he taken to the clan mansion? What happened to him?"

"Do you know Princess Huaihe?" Prince Qi asked Jia Gu.

"I don't know him, I've heard that he doesn't have a son-in-law, and I heard that he doesn't come out very often."

"It happened to her. Today, her son-in-law's brother-in-law went to Shuntian Mansion to sue, saying that she had raised a five-month-old baby boy. The baby boy was named Jia Tan, and her husband's family sued Our children hook up with widows."

"Just because of that wicked caste, Jia, they took my son with me. Aren't they talking nonsense?" Jia Gu was furious, and slapped the paint leather off the table.Mrs. Tong, who was behind the screen, was not very angry. She took her mother-in-law and asked her to go to the backyard to watch the grandma, so as not to make a fuss.

"I have evidence. First, that evil name is Tan, along the side of Nan'er's wooden letter."

"They are bloody people, and there are many names with wooden characters around them." Jia Gu was already thinking who would attack his family.

"Of course, this reason is considered nonsense by many people. The reason why this reason was brought up is because of the next reason. That evil breed looks exactly like Xun'er."

"Impossible, impossible. By the way, Princess Huaihe knows who it is, why didn't she tell me, why did she wrong my son?"

"In-laws, she doesn't want to hand over her concubine, and her son-in-law's family felt insulted, so they couldn't stand each other, so they deliberately went to Shuntian Mansion to sue. It was just to make trouble, and Princess Huaihe was not afraid of it, so she insisted that it was her concubine who Jia Lang, I don't say that Jia Lang is not our family, I am vague on purpose, I know what you want to say, just torture the servants around her and you will know. Poisoned."

"I'm going to the palace, this shit bowl can't be put on my son's head." Jia Gu stood up, but Qi Concubine pulled him back. "Don't go, our princess is in the palace. This case will be handed over to the Supreme Emperor tomorrow. After all, Princess Huaihe is his daughter."

Jia Gu sat down angrily, and he couldn't complain too much. The matter of the princess's face-raising is not news, but his son must not get involved with such things, and he will not get rid of his bad reputation.

Back in Madam Tong's courtyard at night, Madam Tong said, "I hope that child is our son's child, old man, what if the princess insists that her son is our grandson?"

"The people in his son-in-law's family have become enemies with our family. It's nothing. I'm not afraid of enmity. I'm afraid that we will give her adulterer a piece of shit for no apparent reason. Go to bed quickly and recover your spirits. Tomorrow won't be the same." My death is her death."

Jia Huan wanted to cry but had no tears. In the prison opposite him was a woman in her 30s, holding a baby in swaddle and breastfeeding the baby in front of him.

The prison in the Zongren Mansion was relatively clean. He fell on the hay, and the Prince of Chu squatted aside, biting a piece of hay in his mouth, "Isn't that your son? I saw that you two really look alike. He's more beautiful than your son." Be like you."

"My son, I'm really not his father, I swear to God." Jia Huan raised her hand, and before she could swear, the woman held the child upright, patted him on the back, made him hiccup, and smiled Say, "Tan'er, give your uncle and dad a laugh."

The prince of Chu's mouth twitched and looked at Jia Xuan. This guy had already pretended to faint.A few steps away, a little guy smiled brightly at him, with a trace of saliva still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
