Battle of the Red Chamber Ring III

Mandarin Duck's Ending

Yuanyang watched the old lady enter the coffin, and because the old lady was old, she prepared the utensils early. She carefully combed the old lady's white hair, applied oil, and carefully The old lady put on her makeup at last, and looked more energetic, but she burst into tears while she was doing it. At the beginning, Jia She asked the old lady to want her because of the old lady's private house, but the old lady suppressed it, so that's what happened. With her today.

At the age of 83, even death is a joy and mourning, and there are not many people coming and going. Yuanyang looked at the dozen or so people kneeling on both sides, and then looked up at the white flags full of the room, his eyes were cold.

The room was full of crying people, and on both sides were people wearing white linen cloths. Occasionally, a few fainted from crying, and no one went to carry them.They are all servants who serve, they are all crying for themselves instead of crying for their master.Yuanyang thought blankly, while wiping Jiamu's coffin with the handkerchief in her hand.

While she was wiping, Xiao Hong came over and asked, "Sister Yuanyang, after the funeral is over, Second Master Yun will go to my old lady's place to propose marriage. What are your plans now?" His father was Lin Zhixiao. When most people left Jia's mansion with the deeds of selling their lives, he continued to squat silently at the door of the house and waited for a few masters to call a car.

The previous sage called Jia Zhengyu to answer. After returning, there seemed to be not much change. A few people came back with a few boxes of things. It is said that the sage returned the things because the family was poor.After all, this disaster is over.

Yuanyang shook her head. Originally, she wanted to serve the old lady until she died, and she would never marry for the rest of her life. Now that the old lady is really dead, she doesn't know if there is anyone in the house who wants to use her. At that time, not everyone thought highly of her, and she actually knew how many people she had blocked.

"The old lady called Qiao sister to go to the house. I don't know why, but now she has thought about it. She said that the cleaning is still clean, and it's all a grandparent's love. Why don't you go and ask you?" Brother, let's see if we can go home?" Xiaohong also knew about Yuanyang, although her sister-in-law persuaded Yuanyang to become Jia She's aunt, but now the Elder Master has gone.

Yuanyang also seemed to have thought of this, and returned to Xiaohong and said: "My sister-in-law is different from your father, she sold me for the money at the beginning, and she will sell me for the money in the future, waiting for the old man My wife went to Jinling, so I went together to show the old lady the grave of Yi Yi."

Both Jiamu and Wang Xifeng were going to Jinling for burial, so it was understandable for Yuanyang to think about going to Jinling.

"It's better to wait a few days. I heard that the second master released everyone. If your brother and sister-in-law also leave, you can stay in the mansion to serve the fourth lady." Yuanyang and Xichun have always had a good relationship, and she herself is a decent person. If Xichun came forward and asked for Yuanyang, it would be able to solve some problems.

"That's fine, let's wait a little longer." Yuanyang sighed.Seeing that Yuanyang couldn't make a decision for a while, Xiaohong could only swallow her sigh. The two of them were kneeling together burning paper money, when suddenly they heard a noise outside, Xiaohong took a look at Yuanyang, got up and went out to have a look .

Yuanyang silently watched the flames flying in the brazier, the scorching heat made people's cheeks turn red.

Xiaohong went away for a while and then came back, pulling the mandarin ducks to leave: "Quick, go and see, it was the second master who brought someone to the Sun's house, and I heard that something happened to the second sister!" Xiaohong, who had served Yingchun before, shouted Unlike ordinary girls, the second lady was treated differently. Yuanyang knew that Yingchun, who was generous, was a concubine, and had always had a temperament of not fighting or grabbing, but she was married into a bandit den by the elder.

When the two arrived at the place, it turned out to be Mrs. Wang's old house. Presumably because of the proximity, there was an old doctor inside who took the pulse, and Jia Zhu looked at the old doctor eagerly, with tears in his eyes. Standing in the lobby waiting for the news, Mrs. Xing was sitting side by side, wiping tears with her handkerchief.

"What's the matter?" Xiaohong hurriedly went up to ask Siqi, but unfortunately she bit her lip and didn't speak, she went to ask Xiuju again, Xiuju looked up at Siqi, then at Yingchun lying on the bed , cried and ran out, Yuanyang hurriedly followed, the embroidered orange arrived in the lobby, lay down in front of Mrs. Xing in a falling posture, and kowtowed to Jia Zheng again: "I beg Mrs. Don't send our lady back home, that's how people live." After speaking, he talked about the life after Yingchun married.

He was originally a rogue-like character, but instead of cherishing Yingchun, he spoiled Yingchun with all his strength. A few days ago, Yingchun finally had a child, but something happened to Jia's mansion, and he was kicked by Sun Shaozu for a long time. It didn't get any better, if it wasn't for the death of the old lady, Yingchun wouldn't be able to come out, but if this person came out, her soul would be gone. She had nothing to love in her life, she fainted to death after crying at the old lady Wang Xifeng's place twice on the ground.

Yuanyang was dumbfounded when she heard that, she thought that the old man would abuse their servants, but she didn't expect that she even abused her own daughter. When the second young lady got married, she heard rumors that she had paid 5000 taels of debt. That's it.

She quietly went back to Yingchun's place, the old doctor inside had already left, and Siqi was lying on the bedside crying, his arms that he accidentally raised were covered with bruises.She stepped forward and knelt beside Siqi. Seeing Yuanyang, Siqi bit her lip and panted, tears soaked the entire veil. Yuanyang took out her own and handed it to Siqi. After wiping his face, he finally came back to his senses, looked back at Yingchun, then looked up at the roof, and then met the mandarin duck.

"At the beginning, the old man wanted to accept you, but if you refused, I thought you were a formidable person. If you messed up, you wanted to be an aunt, and the old lady loved you so much. I thought if I could do something better, how could the young lady be punished?" Those nannies bullied me, when I ransacked the house, I thought it was reincarnation, but now I know that this woman married a second child, so the grievances in the mansion are nothing." She Thinking of his experience in the Sun Mansion, he unconsciously grabbed his arm and trembled.

Yuanyang said: "I saw Xiuju go to the second master just now, I think you don't need to go back." She said carefully, but she still thought carefully according to her habit.

"Didn't it mean that the house was robbed and no one can make decisions now?" Siqi opened his eyes wide.

"It was copied before, but the lord was merciful and allowed the master to take the crime and make meritorious service. After the three-year filial piety period passed, he was appointed as the fifth rank of the household department. Moreover, the king of Beijing Jing also came to the old lady's place to worship the day before yesterday. If the master is willing to take the Hand, the matter of the second lady is not a problem." Yuanyang knelt closer, so she could hear it more clearly.

Siqi suddenly saw hope, held Yuanyang's hand, and cried for a long time. After crying, he was willing to serve Yingchun who was lying down. Yingchun was better than Siqi. Most of the injuries on his body were not serious, but his stomach The place was a little black and blue, and Yuanyang was startled when he saw it, and immediately called a maid to serve, and searched for the wound medicine in the house.

Yuanyang didn't stay too long, and after giving the medicine to Siqi, she went out, and then she went out of the yard, and saw Jia Zhu holding a big knife as if she was about to go out from a distance, and there was no one waiting around her, so she was busy He stepped forward and said, "Brother Jun, why are you alone, where are the maids and women who serve you?"

Na Jiajun pursed his lips tightly. He was a brother and sister of Yingchun's mother. Unfortunately, their aunt died when she gave birth to him. After that, he lived with Yingchun as the second invisible person, waiting for the mansion to come out. Because of this, Mrs. Xing took a fancy to him and brought him to her side to raise him.

"I'm going to avenge my sister. Those women are in the way, so I order them away." Jia Jun knew Yuanyang, this maid who had a very high status in front of the old lady was more respectable than their serious masters, But now it's all the same.

Yuanyang looked at Jia Jun, and suddenly realized that she was wrong. Because she was serving the old lady, she would hold whatever the old lady liked. It's too late, no wonder he lost hope once the old lady died.

"Brother Zhu, if you want to go, how can you kill people with a knife that you can't hold?" Yuanyang knelt down and looked up at Jia Zhu.

Jia Zhu pursed her lips, her eyes were full of sternness: "Then tell me what to do." He will not change his mind, even if he dies, he must let his sister be free.

Yuanyang took out the dagger that had been hidden for a long time from her bosom. It was slender and sharp. It was her choice. Although she followed Xiaohong and said that she would go with the old lady, she actually decided early in the morning to wait for the old lady. As soon as Qiqi is over, I just follow.

Yuanyang shoved the dagger into Jia Jun's arms: "Many houses in the mansion have been sealed off. If Sun Shaozu doesn't know how to flatter him, he will always come. You ask him out, drink some wine, and stab him here, and then he will come." Just order someone to push down the deep well at the south gate, which is connected to the moat outside, and the corpse will naturally float out after ten days and a half months, but you have to order a good person to turn around alone after leaving the mansion.

"My master owes him 5000 taels of silver. If the second master can't convince him, I will use the money to trick him into turning around." Jia Zhu tugged on the dagger, his fingers turned white.

"Brother Jun, if you can think of this place, it will be great. If you can deceive me, then I will help you." Yuanyang smiled, anyway, he is a person who is going to die anyway, at worst, he will go to the mansion Ya pleaded guilty, at any rate, it can be of some use.

"Let's pull the hook..." Jia Zhu blushed suddenly, and pointed at the mandarin duck.Yuanyang hummed, and followed Jia Jun to check.

After five days, Yingchun was almost ready, and Sun Shaozu also sent the letter of divorce tactfully, and no longer mentioned the matter of silver, but it made Jia Zhu and Yuanyang's calculations come to naught, and Yuanyang lived a long life for nothing. for a while.

As for Sun Shaozu, what Jia Jun could think of, Jia Zheng couldn't think of it, he didn't do anything, he just greeted a few acquaintances, and then sent Sun Shaozu to suppress the bandits, followed him and died in office.
