[Red House] Harem Road in Spring

This year, first Wang Xifeng gave birth to Jia Lian's eldest son as he wished, and Jia She happily named it Jia Zhuo, hoping that the child would grow up well. A few months later, Li Wan gave birth to Jia Zhu's posthumous son. The old lady Mrs. Wang never saw it At a glance, Jia Zheng reluctantly gave him the name Jia Lan.Even without confinement, Li Wan took Jia Lan to guard the door and lived a widowed life.

One day, Yingchun took her maid to visit Jia Zhuo in the backyard, and the maid graciously put up the curtain for Yingchun.

"Are sister-in-law and Zhuo'er here?" Yingchun asked Shun'er who was standing in front of the door.

"Yingchun is here, come in quickly." Before Shun'er could answer, Wang Xifeng's sharp voice came from the room.

"Here we come." Yingchun agreed, and walked directly to the inner room.

Passing through the hall, past a screen, and then into the inner room, I saw Wang Xifeng casually wearing a piece of clothing, holding Zhuo'er in her arms and coaxing her.

"I've been looking forward to you coming to play with Zhuo'er, but I finally hoped for you, Ping'er, and I haven't brought tea for the eldest girl yet." Wang Xifeng joked.

"Hey." Ping'er agreed, put down the things in his hand and went outside.

There is kindness and harmony between sisters-in-law.

"Isn't it because you are always busy with sister-in-law, so you are afraid of disturbing sister-in-law." Yingchun said with a smile.

"Do you want to disturb me? These things at home can be sorted out in less than a cup of tea. Besides, if you want to come, I will be happy no matter how busy you are." Wang Xifeng said with a smile. Because of Li Wan's withdrawal, Wang Xifeng became the grandma of the head of the family, which can be regarded as a proud spring breeze.

"What's wrong with Zhuo'er? There are still tears in her eyes!" Yingchun asked curiously.

The chubby baby is wearing bright red clothes, with silver locks on her neck, and two silver bracelets on her two chubby lotus-root-like arms. Unfortunately, the fat baby's eyelashes are still wet with tears.

"This kid, I don't know who his temper is like, and his temper is too big. I know he is hungry, but the nanny came a step late, so he couldn't stop crying." Sister Feng smiled and nodded Zhuo'er's baby. nose.

Zhuo'er, who originally looked at Yingchun with two big eyes, shifted his eyes to Sister Feng.

"The child must be hungry!" Yingchun said, "Hey, there is a hair." Yingchun took out a long hair that had fallen out from Zhuo'er's hand.

"It's mine. People say that when a child recognizes someone, the mother has to take off her hair once. As expected, she has lost her hair all over the place these days." Sister Feng complained with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, you can't close your happy mouth!" Yingchun joked.

"That's right!" Sister Feng said without any modesty.

"Girl, drink tea." Ping'er came in with a tea bowl.

"Okay." Yingchun took the tea politely, seeing that Ping'er began to arrange the gold and silver on the table again.

"Is my sister-in-law arranging the dowry? Why are there so many valuable things on the table?" Yingchun asked curiously.

"Well, sort out the cash and see how much there is, and then use it to do business and save some money for Zhuo'er."

"What did my sister-in-law find to make a living?" Yingchun was puzzled.

"What's so good about making a living? I heard that you can lend money to those in need, and return an extra amount of interest when it expires." Sister Feng said nonchalantly.

"Give interest?" Yingchun exclaimed, the tea bowl in her hand was not held firmly and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Wang Xifeng was taken aback, and looked at Yingchun who lost her composure without blinking.

"Sister-in-law, tell the truth, is this just planning to let go of the interest or has it been done a few times already?" Yingchun asked with a serious face.

Wang Xifeng, Ping'er and others all realized that there might be a problem, so Sister Feng hurriedly said, "I just heard that you can put money for profit, so I started preparing silver taels. I haven't had time to put it in yet, but what's wrong?"

"Is it wrong? There is a big problem. There are regulations in the criminal law. Once you find out that you have given out profits, you will be severely punished. The light ones will be two hundred sticks, the severe ones will be two hundred sticks, and you will be punished for three thousand miles. What's more. This is a detrimental thing, I'm afraid there will be retribution!" Yingchun didn't mind talking about the matter seriously.

Originally, she thought that Wang Xifeng in the Red Mansion gave out profits because of the financial deficit of the Rongguo Mansion, and now, because of Jia Amnesty's early intervention, there was no financial problem in the Rongguo Mansion. , things still happened.

"Damage to yin and virtue?" Wang Xifeng was taken aback.

"Otherwise, did you inquire about the retribution of the interest lender?" Yingchun said bluntly.

Sure enough, after saying this, Wang Xifeng's expression changed suddenly.

"Who asked sister-in-law to lend the interest money?" Yingchun asked curiously.

Yingchun's question made Wang Xifeng grit his teeth even more, "No one told me to put interest, but I accidentally told me that it is very profitable."

When Wang Xifeng said this, Yingchun guessed who it was, "As long as my sister-in-law hasn't had time to release it, maybe the person who told my sister-in-law that lending money is very profitable doesn't know that this thing is illegal and detrimental to morality."

Yingchun's words are comforting when she hears them, she is too out of line.

"Hmph!" Wang Xifeng sneered, I don't know, how is it possible?He must have told her because he knew that this thing was detrimental to Yin and virtue!After he suffered retribution, he came to harm her again, and even said Ren Kefu in a daze, and asked her to say that he was killed by her doing this.

She originally thought that they could live in peace, but she was stupid!

It is said that since Jia Zhu passed away, Jia Zheng put all his attention on Baoyu. After all, this is his only surviving son. Naturally, he also paid special attention to Baoyu's homework.

On this day, I don't know if someone specially reminded him or what, Jia Zheng was interested in investigating Baoyu's homework, and because of the advice of the slaves around him, he went to Baoyu's room in person.

Unfortunately, Baoyu was eating the lipstick on the maid's mouth. Jia Zheng immediately remembered Baoyu's catching rouge when he caught Zhou, and a mouthful of blood blocked his throat.

When he got to the place, he picked up the bamboo stick and started pumping Baoyu's ass.

Although Baoyu was a man, he was spoiled and pampered by the old lady since he was a child, and he didn't say a single harsh word. After suffering such suffering, he immediately started crying.

The old lady and Mrs. Wang who got the news hurried to the study to stop Jia Zheng, but because the maid who tipped off the news was a step too late, Baoyu had already been spanked.

The old lady hugged Baoyu and only scolded Jia Zheng for being unfilial.

Mrs. Wang took Baoyu and shouted for her life, only saying that if something happened to Baoyu, she would die.

Jia Zheng was so angry that he only called Jia Baoyu a villain, but at this moment, Baoyu pouted because he was crying too hard.

All of a sudden, the second room was on its back.

The corner of Sister Feng's mouth curled up into a happy smile when she got the news, and she understood a truth, if someone plots against you, don't say anything, just stab her in the heart.

A few days after Baoyu was beaten, Jia Amnesty informed all the masters in the big house to attend classes in the study.

Yes, all the masters, up to Mrs. Jia Shexing, down to Jia Lian Wang Xifeng Yingchun Jia Cong, sat in a row in the study.

At the top stood an old gentleman, an old man in his 70s and [-]s, with a gray beard.

This is also because there are female relatives among the students, so a particularly old one was invited, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

It is said that this gentleman used to be a well-known lawyer in Beijing. Even though he is old and lacks energy, he still attracts many people who sue him.

The Jia family could not have hired such a powerful lawyer, but this person was fond of ancient paintings, so Jia She sent out a collection of ancient paintings cruelly, and then invited him, and reached an agreement to send me to court All criminal laws must be finished.

Jia She was not willing to waste the teacher hired at such a high price, so he asked all the masters of the big house to come to listen to the lecture.

In this regard, Yingchun was pleasantly surprised. Although she specially invited me to study the laws and regulations of the imperial court, after all, it was only written content, which was very simple, and there were many questions that had not been answered.

However, Yingchun couldn't help but glanced at Wang Xifeng. A few days ago, when Wang Xifeng came out of the room to pay interest, she invited someone to come to enforce the law today, hoping that Wang Xifeng would not hold her grudges because of this.

Wang Xifeng happened to see Yingchun's eyes looking over, and when they looked at each other, Wang Xifeng's eyes were grateful, but there was no resentment in Yingchun's guess.

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

The old man stroked his beard and said, "Let's talk about the criminal law of my dynasty first, the chapter on thieves and robbers, the first crime, treason and treason, 'All treason and treason, but the accomplices, regardless of leader or follower, will be executed immediately. Grandfather , Father and son, grandson brothers, and people living together, regardless of different surnames, and sons of uncles, uncles, brothers, regardless of the same or different nationality, who are over [-] years old, no matter whether they are serious or disabled, they will all be beheaded. Those under [-], and mother and daughter Wives, concubines and sisters, wives and concubines of children, slaves to the families of meritorious officials. The property enters the government. If the daughter's marriage has been decided, it will belong to her husband, the children and grandchildren will have a house with others, and those who fail to find a wife will not chase after them. If they know it, they will hide it. Those who can be captured, the civilians will be awarded civilian officials. The army will be awarded military positions. All the property of the prisoner will still be rewarded. If you know the first to sue, the official is the capture, and the property will not be given. One hundred, three thousand li.'"

After reading a paragraph, the old gentleman looked at the people present, and said, "rebellion and treason here refer to endangering the country, destroying ancestral temples, mountains, palaces..."

The first lawyer's lectures are really different. The criminal law in the book is combined with real examples, which is fascinating and allows everyone to listen thoroughly.

As a former three-good student, Yingchun picked up a pen and marked the differences between her understanding and what her husband said one by one.

Time passed while everyone in Dafang was studying the law, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for another year's general election.

Yuanchun has already passed this year, and the age for general elections has long passed, but the old lady is unwilling to waste more than ten years of training, so she spent a lot of money, and she just reported Yuanchun's name.

Different from the past, Yuan Chun, who participated in the election this year, kept a low profile. Just as Yuan Chun was preparing everything, there was another order from the palace, saying that the emperor was sympathetic and exempted this year's draft.

So Yuanchun was dumbfounded again!When he came back to his senses, Yuan Chun ran to the room and wept into tears.

The old lady sighed with trembling hands, "Fate is all life!"

It was as if she was born on the first day of the first month of Yuanchun that year, and she was not the lucky one.

The author has something to say: "Anyone who conspires against a major rebellion, but the conspirators, regardless of who they are, will be put to death immediately. Grandfathers, fathers and sons, grandson brothers, and cohabitants, regardless of surname, and sons of uncles, uncles, and brothers, will not Restrictions on similarities and differences of nationality, above [-] years old, no matter serious illness or disability, all will be beheaded. Those under [-] years old, mother, daughter, wives and concubines, sisters, wives and concubines, if the son's wives and concubines, will be paid to the family of meritorious officials as slaves. The property will be entrusted to the government. If the daughter is allowed to marry Those who have been appointed, belong to their husbands, their children and grandchildren have intercourse with others, and those who fail to marry their wives will not chase after them. Those who know and hide themselves will be killed. Those who can capture them will be given civilian officials. The army will be given military posts. Still Reward all the prisoner’s property. If you know the first to sue, the official is the one who captures, and the property will not be given. If you don’t first, you will have a hundred rods and three thousand miles.” This paragraph refers to the content of the crime of treason. indicate.
