Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

Jia Huan felt that the things in this world were really unexpected, and before he could get to the bottom of it, there was movement outside, and it was none other than Xue Pan who came in.He wore a high crown with a red velvet top, a dark green buttoned vest over a bright red jacket, and a black belt with moon white embroidery around his waist. Jia Huan saw that he was not well. What kind of rhythm is it with a white belt tied in green? The face that was originally handsome is now stretched sideways a lot.

When Xue Pan saw Jia Huan, he squatted down and grinned at him: "I know you are here, how about you, how do you feel when you squatted in the same place as I did? I'll come and see you, how's it going?"

Yinglian's cousin is naturally Mu Kun. Jia Huan said "oh" and didn't speak. Then Xue Pan smiled and said to Zhen Baoyu: "Brother Bao, you have suffered a lot. Don't worry, brother, I have taken care of it." There is no one next to us, and there is still some money left." Because Baochai entered the palace at the beginning, Aunt Xue finally felt that her family's money could no longer be filled in Mrs. Wang's pocket, so she tightly squeezed the money in her hand. The money was left to Xue Pan.

Zhen Baoyu was still ignorant of Xue Pan, but knowing that this was probably Jia Baoyu's relative, he called Xue Pan his brother, and obediently saluted Xue Pan, which made Xue Pan feel itchy suddenly, but this is a problem from the past. , he scratched his face unconsciously, and said with a simple and honest smile: "I met Jia Lan before I came in. He didn't come in because he was less than twelve years old, and now he has taken him to Li Jijiu House. Don't worry too much."

Li Gongcai is a smart man. Seeing that all the elders in the mansion had been arrested, he asked Jia Mu for instructions and took Jia Lan back to his natal home. Now that Jia Mu saw that her son and grandson had been arrested, she could only hold on. In one breath, he carried the entire Jia Mansion.

"Your mansion is still good, but the Ningguo mansion is even worse. I heard that not only Brother Zhen and Jia Rong, but also the women and children in the mansion were arrested. I can come in and take a look at your place. It seems that the saint has gone down there. Sacred decree, no one who has nothing to do with him is not allowed to visit, and speaking of why brother Huan is in Jia's mansion, isn't it that you have lived in Shizi's mansion for three or four years?" Xue Pan looked at Jia Huan with a look of unlucky you, But I just mentioned a word by the way, and then said to Baoyu, "Everyone in your house is well. After all, the old lady is still holding her breath, but she seems to have lost a lot of weight. Your wife and daughter-in-law also responded. It is good."

When Jia Huan heard the word daughter-in-law, she frowned, and Zhen Baoyu smiled awkwardly, "Thank you brother for taking care of me."

Xue Pan hummed, stuffed a piece of gold leaf at the head of the guarding cell, and pointed to Baoyu and Jia Huan in the cell: "Be careful and wait on you."

The old man gave a wretched smile, then shrank his head and responded with all his mouth, gathered the golden leaf and stuffed it into his crotch: "Don't worry, I will definitely serve the men as if they are in the house." In the past, there was no one in this cell. I don't know why, since the Supreme Emperor went and the Holy One pardoned the world, the prison was full of people, all of them came in brightly, and went out disheveled. On the contrary, he, a humble man, made a lot of money.

After seeing Baoyu and Jia Huan, Xue Pan came out, followed Mu Kun who was waiting outside to join the alley, and then dispersed.

By the way, Mother Jia is already in her 80s. Seeing that all the men in the mansion have been taken away, she is holding on to her breath. Now it is chaotic, and Wang Xifeng is lying in the room. Mrs. Wang would just sit aside and cry "woo woo", while Mrs. Wang was holding a Buddhist bead in her hand and didn't know what she was thinking.

Although the man was taken away, the officers and soldiers did not retreat. Jia Mu gathered a group of female relatives in the mansion into her room. As a result, there was a lot of noise at the door. I saw those officers and soldiers pressing one person over. Others saw that Jiao Dao stayed behind. Brought to the old lady.

"Why did you come here?" Mother Jia was startled, and suddenly felt that she had said something wrong, so she shut her mouth again.

Seeing the old lady sitting down on the ground, Jiao Da is also a man in his [-]s, his hair and beard are all white, but he is sober, with tears and snot all over his face, he patted his thigh and said: "I persuade you every day." Looking at these unprogressive men, but they don't know what to do, they feel that my slave is bullying the master, looking at me is a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh, now Master Zhen and Brother Rong have been taken away by some prince, the heroine inside They were all robbed by the yamen servants in some mansion, and now they are all locked up in a room like pigs. Everything that can be robbed is robbed, everything that can be moved is moved away, and everything that cannot be moved is smashed. If you want to tie me up, I will say that I am from the West Mansion, and I have come here, I see you are fine now, and I have nothing to think about, I can just hit my head to death." As he said that, he wanted to bump to the side.

The serving mandarin duck hurried forward to stop her, and she lay down on the ground tired. Mother Jia held her handkerchief and covered her face, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Debt got married and went out, Tanchun was sent to get married, but Xichun still stayed with Jia Mu. A few days ago, Daiyu looked bad, and then she was picked up by people from the northwest, leaving only one with Baoyu Shi Xiangyun, who became a relative, is now sitting under Mrs. Wang with a woman's braid.Ping'er led Qiao'er to sit aside, Qiao'er was always well-behaved, she snuggled into Ping'er's arms without saying a word.

A few people were worried, when they saw Xue Biao coming in, everyone hurriedly gathered around to ask what was going on, Xue Biao took a breath, and said: "I understand everything, I heard that Master Zhen of Ningguo Mansion is the cause of a funeral. It's nothing to do with the children of aristocratic families. Another big one said that they took the wives and daughters of good people as concubines. Their daughters refused to obey and were forced to death. I heard that Bao Er was found as a witness, and a man surnamed Zhang was found. Come on, we don't know much about this place. We only heard that in the morning, Li Yushi went to Ping'an Prefecture to flatter the capital officials, cater to his superiors, and abuse the people. The matter of lending money for interest is a matter in Lian's second brother's room."

The old lady didn't make any movement after listening, but thanked Xue Biao calmly: "Thanks to you, our group of women can get the news."

Xue Biao hurriedly waved his hands and said: "The old lady is serious. They are distant relatives. What's more, the Xue family and the Jia family are in the same spirit. If the Jia family is not good, how can the Xue family be better."

Mother Jia nodded, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang and said, "Your brother is still in office, I don't know if you can get in touch or not."

Mrs. Wang bent sideways to the old lady: "We have always been in touch, but now it's hard to talk."

Jia Mu waved her hand: "It's okay, but the results will come out in a day or two, and I have to trouble Brother Tiao to go one more time." She pointed Mrs. Wang to write a letter, and Xue Tada went with her, and dismissed everyone on their own. After returning to the room to tidy up, she herself held Yuanyang's hand and walked to Wang Xifeng's room.

Wang Xifeng was lying on the bed now, her face was as white as paper, her eyes were wide open and she was staring at the window. The nurse she brought from the manor was waiting on her side, and the nurse knelt down to pay her respects when she saw the old lady.Mother Jia waved her hand to tell her not to be too polite.Sister Feng used to be the best at tidying up. Not to mention the gold and silver in this room, even the porcelain and pots were carefully selected. Now there is only a mess, but at least someone has cleaned it up. It is empty, it seems that there is only one bed left It's all right.

Jia Mu stepped forward and sat by the bed, holding Wang Xifeng's hand, and called out to Sister Feng twice, only to see that Wang Xifeng's eyes gradually gained focus, and saw Jia Mu's tears streaming down her eye sockets, moistening both sides. Messy sideburns.

"Since you entered the mansion, I have taken a fancy to you the most in this granddaughter-in-law's generation. You are also capable. Even ten men can't figure you out. You can take care of all the big and small things in this mansion. Now the manor Are you going to lie down all the time?" Mother Jia sighed, patted Wang Xifeng on the shoulder, and Sister Ping, who followed, turned around and began to cry. Wang Xifeng opened his mouth, took a breath, and his face seemed to turn around.

The nurse hurried forward, holding the bowl of medicine that had been unable to be fed before, and carefully fed it in. Then Wang Xifeng turned to look at Jia's mother, then at Ping'er who was looking at her in the room, and followed Ping'er. Looking at her sister Qiaoer from the clothes, she finally held up her breath.

Everyone in Jia's mansion waited for three days, and everything in the mansion got better. Jia Zheng, Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Huan and others also returned to the mansion. Jia Zheng entered the door and saw Jia's mother trembling at the door. He hurried forward to hold him.

Mother Jia touched Jia Zheng's face and said three good words: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, go and wash up, I'll wait for you in the lobby." Jia Zheng responded quickly, and then took Baoyu , Jia Huan and so on went to the back room.

Jia Lian followed the old lady to invite Ann and went to the big house.Jia's mother only told him: "Your daughter-in-law is not doing well now. Don't say anything about being angry with her. It's doomed. If it will come, it will always come." The disaster in Rongning and Ningfu could not be due to these small things, but Jia Lian was still young and felt that he was careful in everything he did, how could he fall into the trap, so he felt that it was Wang Xifeng's fault, but now he is talking to Jia Mu, of course. I agreed.

Jia Zheng went back to the back room, waited on him and took some snacks after washing. He originally wanted to tell Baoyu and Jia Huan to go back to their houses, but Baoyu held Jia Huan in a daze and refused to leave, saying that although he had returned home now , But things didn't happen after all, instead of going back to the room and facing those crying Yingying Yanyan, it's better to stay in front of father and be refreshed.

Sure enough, everything in this world is unclear. After looking at Baoyu for a while, he ordered someone to wait for the two of them to wash up. He sat by the window and thought for a while, and then called someone to ask Mrs. Wang's whereabouts. It was reported that his wife was not in good health, and now he was recuperating in the house, and he didn't think too much about it. He just waited for Baoyu and Jia Huan to change clothes, and then took them to Jia's mother.

Everyone in the house did not leave. When Jia Zheng came back, he thought that Jia Mu was the only one left. When he entered the door, Jia Mu did not call Baoyu to come to him this time, but called Jia Zheng carefully: "You can come back safely. , I will die without regret.”

"How does the old lady say such things, and how should the son respond? It's because the offspring are unworthy, and the old lady wants to..." At this age, Jia Zheng covered his face, and two lines of tears poured out. Compared with Ningguo Mansion, Rongguo Mansion is much better. In the past, he thought that the prosperity of their mansion was all because of the eldest daughter, but now it seems that it is because of the old lady.

"Everything in the world is vain. I have passed the age of knowing the destiny, but unfortunately I still can't see it through." Before she finished her two sentences, she asked Baoyu again. Zhen Baoyu was not Jia Baoyu in the first place, and she was very guilty. Now that she is used to pretending, she also went to Jia Mu's side without saying a word at this moment, and was rubbed well.

A few people were talking, and Ping'er in the big room ran over crying, and shouted: "I beg the old lady to save our second grandma's life." Face, most of the maids and women who were serving have already dispersed, and the ones who remained were hesitant for a while. They are not as loyal as before. Mother Jia always loves Wang Xifeng, so she hurriedly asked what's wrong.

"I don't know where the second master heard the news, saying that because of the interest, our family wants to push the second grandma to take the blame." Ping'er threw herself at the old lady's feet, hugged the old lady's calf, and cried for a while. Crying, she used to look good, but these two days she was busy taking care of Wang Xifeng, and she had to look at Sister Feng again, so she was a little haggard.

Mother Jia stood up angrily "huh--" and cursed: "That bastard who has done evil, couples who have been married for a night, have a hundred days of grace, go and call, call me!" The old lady was anxious The whole person was panting, and his face was blue and white for a while.Seeing that the old lady was angry, Baoyu hurriedly moved aside.Jia Huan sat behind Jia Zheng. He kept his head down and didn't speak at first, but when he heard this sentence, he raised his head and glanced. Except Mrs. Wang who didn't come, everyone else had arrived. Even Mrs. Xing was sitting with Jia Zhu in her arms. On the side, everyone looked bad.

After a while, the waiter raised the curtain, and Jia Lian came in with a frown, but didn't speak, just glanced at Ping'er who was crying on the ground, and then knelt down in front of the old lady: "I don't know if the old lady called Grandson is here, what's the matter?"

In this world, it is easy to get together and leave. Jia Mu also knows that they are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. The old lady touched the emerald ring on her hand, and she had a plan in her mind. She first sighed He took a deep breath, looked at Jia Lian, and slowly recalled the past: "At the beginning, your father was not yet married, and the mansion was a first-class glory. Your grandfather begged your mother for your father's marriage."

Mother Jia spoke very slowly, as if she was in front of her when she was young again, so prosperous and prosperous.Jia Shen's marriage is even more important. Although this son has been raised by his mother-in-law since he was a child and has a somewhat impetuous temper, he still has a feeling of licking the calf towards him.

"Your mother came in the door first with you first elder brother, and then with you." Jia's mother talked about this past, and her fingers pinched each other unconsciously, "Your mother is capable, so capable, let your father be single-minded. It is all about her. If she lives a long life and the husband and wife are harmonious, it will be good, but God is jealous of your elder brother's intelligence, so he took it away early. Your mother didn't think about it for a while, so she followed her. From then on, you Father doesn't care about worldly affairs, he just wants to have fun." She said and looked at Xing Shi again, Xing Shi put his arms around Jia Zhu and didn't speak, just lowered his head and quietly wiped away his tears.

Jia Lian covered his face with one hand, unable to see his expression, just knelt on the ground motionless, Jia Zheng sat on the side in a daze, wondering if he recalled the scene at that time.Jia's mother looked down at Jia Lian, and said sharply, "I'm not trying to persuade you today. I just want to say that as long as I'm still alive, I'll let go of my previous thoughts!"

After she finished speaking, she heard a thud at the door, and everyone looked, it was Wang Xifeng who was holding the hand of the nanny, and she probably didn't stop for a moment, and fell to the ground, while she was supported, she rolled and crawled to the ground In front of Jia's mother, she first pulled the old lady's clothes and cried bitterly for a while, then turned around and hugged Ping'er, cried twice, then wiped away her tears, and looked up at Jia Lian: "I was originally a dying person. You can push it all on me, just one thing, please let Qiao sister follow Ping'er in the future and take care of her to grow up, and I will die without regret." She was originally ill, but now she speaks even more Light and bottomless, there is no blood on the face, the skin on the lips is dry and cracked, looking closer, the tip of the tongue is red and rotten, it seems to be burning from within.
