The Fate of the Red Chamber

In a few days, it will be the Dragon Boat Festival.

Mother Jia sent Yuanyang, the most capable maid around her, to invite Daiyu, saying that it was the concubine Yuan who sent a message from the palace, and asked the old lady to take people to Qingxu Temple for a three-day peace dip.The empress is interested, everyone in Jia's mansion is naturally happy and excited, discussing that all the grandmas and girls except the two wives of Xing Wang will go, and hope that Daiyu can also go to relax together.

It has been a long time since Baochai went to Jia's mansion on his birthday.Although Daiyu was wary of Jia's mother because of the loan, but she hadn't broken her face yet, so she couldn't do too much, otherwise if it spread, they would think that the Lin family was not polite.After hesitating for a while, I finally agreed to go on the day.After receiving Yuanyang's answer, Jia's mother was full of joy, thinking that Daiyu still treats her as before, and has not alienated her.

It is said that that day Mo Han mercilessly drove Baochai back, Baochai was furious for a while, she didn't react for a long time, she just let the servant girl put her into the carriage in a daze.It wasn't until the carriage moved that he woke up. He couldn't figure out why Mo Han suddenly turned his back on him. He should be overwhelmed by his beauty and talent.

A group of people returned to Jia's mansion in dismay, and Jia's mother and others were shocked. They lived well there and came back without any news. It must be that something happened.The four of them were a little embarrassed, but they couldn't tell why. Tanchun said that because Sister Bao's body was getting better, they were afraid to disturb the Lin family too much, so they asked Daiyu to send them back.

Baochai's complexion was the worst, and after a few words, she turned back to Lixiangyuan.Who is Jia's mother, how can she believe Tanchun's excuse just now, even if she wants to come back, she should send a letter back first, so they can send someone to pick it up, the young lady of Jia's house is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to be polite.Can't help asking: "You guys are honest, did you offend anyone?"

"Old lady, we really don't know. We just had lunch today, and we were talking in Sister Lin's room. We heard that Cousin Lin came back, and brought the imperial doctor to Sister Bao's place directly. We thought what happened to Sister Bao I hurried to see her, but I didn't expect that the imperial doctor said that Sister Bao was recovering, and then Cousin Lin immediately sent someone to send Sister Bao back. We couldn't continue to stay, so we resolutely resigned and came back.

In my opinion, Sister Bao must have offended Cousin Lin, otherwise, how could someone as gentle and courteous as Cousin Lin do such a thing, and it would even embarrass us. "In the past half a month of getting along, Xichun still likes Mohan very much, but she also hates Baochai. The little girl's face is soft, and naturally she pours out everything, and she can't help but blame Baochai in her tone.

"Fourth sister, don't talk nonsense. Sister Bao is recuperating in her room all day, so where can she offend Cousin Lin?" Seeing Mrs. Wang waiting beside her, Tanchun hastily scolded Xichun in a low voice, for fear that she would say something more outrageous. Come.

Jia's mother had always disliked the Xue family. She always felt that Baochai was too scheming to be a good match.Glancing at Mrs. Wang with a cold face, Fang asked Tanchun, "Is your fourth sister telling the truth?"

"Old lady, that's true." Although Tanchun was afraid of Mrs. Wang, she was even more afraid of Jiamu, and she was not the only one who knew about it. There was no need to offend Jiamu, so she dared not hide it.

Sure enough, Mrs. Wang's complexion darkened, and a sharp look flashed in her eyes, but she didn't speak.

Slapping the Xue family's face is slapping Mrs. Wang's face. Not only was Jia's mother not at all unhappy, but she felt very relieved.It's all right to put on the airs of a lady in our mansion, my granddaughters are easy to talk to and don't care about you, you think that you can mess around with the majestic prince's mansion, you have learned a lesson this time.Xue family girl, you think too highly of yourself.

Before the crowd had time to retreat, there was a loud noise outside the courtyard, and Xue Baochai rushed in with Aunt Xue helping her.Perhaps because she was walking in a hurry, Aunt Xue's bun was a little loose, and the beaded and lying hairpins on her hair were wilting and drooping obliquely. There was a lot of dust on the crimson skirt, and her face was flustered.

When Jia Mu saw it, she was a little bit displeased. This is also the manner of everyone's wife, and the servants would laugh at it.Not to mention wearing gold and silver, red skirt and green jacket on weekdays, a widow is not taboo to dress like this, she is really a shameless businessman.What kind of good daughter can such a family and such a mother teach, hmph.

"Old lady, sister, you have to save Pan'er, I'm just a single seedling, and I'm counting on him for the rest of my life." Aunt Xue burst into tears before exchanging pleasantries.

Mrs. Wang was worried when she saw her sister's appearance, but when she heard that it was Xue Pan again, she was a little unhappy. How did my sister teach her son to mess around outside all day.Back then it was fine to kill people in Jinling, after all, it was the home of the four major families and everything was easy to deal with, but now it is the capital, anyone can be a relative of the emperor, not to mention keeping one's own law and order, knowing how to fight and run dogs all day long, this time it is again What happened? Moths came out.

However, no matter how bad it is, it is my sister and nephew, there is no reason to ignore it, so I can only ask anxiously: "Sister, take your time, what happened to Pan'er?"

Baochai had just walked halfway, when she met Aunt Xue coming here crying, she was taken aback, and after careful questioning, she found out that something happened to her brother, and she was involved, so she couldn't help being anxious and angry, so she had to support Aunt Xue Come to Mrs. Wang Jiamu.After all, Lin Mohan is the nephew of the Jia family, and the Jia family has to show some face when they speak.

Seeing that her mother was only crying at this moment, she was afraid that she would not be able to explain clearly, and she was not careful that it would involve herself, so she hurriedly said: "Old lady, aunt, our family has come to the capital to rely on you for your care, Baochai is already very grateful. It's just me My brother was out of trouble, and when I went to the teahouse to have tea today, I offended my sister Lin's elder brother, Uncle Lin. My brother didn't know Uncle Lin, so he said a few things that shouldn't have been said, but was sent by Uncle Lin to Jingzhao Mansion Yin Yamen.

I think Uncle Lin was just short of breath, old lady, you are his grandmother, he will listen to what you say.I also ask the old lady to see that my mother is getting old, and our Xue family can save my brother for the sake of this single seedling. "

Uh, to offend Lin Mohan, this Xue Pan is really capable, he dared to offend even when he was the king of the county.No wonder the Lin family drove Baochai back because she was implicated by her bastard brother.

When Mrs. Wang heard that Mo Han had sent Xue Pan to the Yamen, she was furious. Isn't this a slap in the face for her, because she is a little prince and even her relatives are not recognized.Thinking about it, he said angrily: "This Lin Mohan is too ignorant. He is from his own family. What's the big deal after Pan'er said a few words? As for taking people? It's clear that the old lady is not Put it in your eyes."

Jia Mu frowned slightly, what does this mean, she just took the money from others and turned her face against others, and wanted to provoke herself to be the first bird, pretending that she was too old and confused, and reprimanded: "Second wife, your relative Offended my nephew, I will protect him, why don't you take me seriously, the wife in charge should be more careful."

"Old lady, Auntie doesn't mean that. They are all family members. Auntie is worried that the younger generation will make you unhappy. She cares about you." It would be troublesome if the old lady provoked her. Fortunately, the old lady's nephew is always closer than her own.

With Baochai's persuasive words, Mrs. Wang naturally went down the ladder, and she was very busy.

Mother Jia is better now, the Xue family is as prosperous as they are, and she can't do too much, she sighed and asked: "What did your brother say that will make your nephew angry, my nephew is the worst Those who know the etiquette and discipline will not be easily angered when they are idle."

"Yeah, brother Lin is such a kind person, he won't get angry for no reason." After listening to this for a long time, Xichun became even more disgusted with the members of the Xue family, and never forgot to speak up for Mohan.

"Miss Si, why do adults talk and children interject?" Hmph, everyone was trying to make things difficult for themselves, helping a wild boy to speak, Mrs. Wang was a little out of choice.

Xichun has the highest spirit, she is the upright daughter of the Ningguo Mansion, she is the most honorable among the girls in Manfuli, she can't bear the slightest grievance, and immediately trembles with anger: "I am a child, your precious niece No. I didn’t raise my nephew well, and I complained about it. I’m the upright master of the house, so I’m not as good as a relative from outside.”

Although Yingchun and Tanchun did not speak, they obviously disapproved of Mrs. Wang's words, and none of them tried to persuade Xichun.

"Fourth girl, come here, I want to see who dares to bully the master of the house." Jia Mu gave Mrs. Wang a hard look. No matter how poor my granddaughter is, she is better than a merchant girl, even if Jia Zhen is not very good at ordinary times. Although the fourth girl, the bond of flesh and blood is unbroken, how can she allow others to bully her, this daughter-in-law is really confused.

Baochai didn't understand how things turned out like this, so she came to ask for help in a good manner, but she insisted on asking her aunt to offend the old lady and Ningguo Mansion successively, and she was really complaining.The most important thing right now is to save my brother, why bother to make people hate them even more because of such a thing.Although Baochai was very dissatisfied with Xichun's words just now, but now is definitely not the time to care about it, and the fourth girl is afraid that she will not be able to manipulate her in the future.

"Old lady, you are an elder, and the uncle of the Lin family has always been filial to you. You can tell him that he will listen. Old lady, please save Pan'er, how did he endure this prison? " Aunt Xue became more anxious when she saw that everyone was only entangled in trivial matters, and she took the conversation away.

Mother Jia snorted coldly, even though you could speak, she responded without saying a word: "I'm afraid it will not be so easy to startle the official now, and it will affect the reputation of the prince. First ask Lian'er to go to the yamen to inquire about it. It's not a big deal, I just want to spend a few coins. I know Mo Han's temper. He is as kind as your sister Lin. If you think about it, it's just a moment of urgency. After a few days, it will be fine. Will compare.

Yuanyang, you go to Second Mistress's place in person to see if Second Master Lian is there, if not, send someone to invite her back quickly. "

After a meal, not only Jia Lian came, but Sister Feng also put down the housework at hand and followed.

Jia Lian got Jia Mu's order and didn't dare to delay, so he hurried to Jingzhaofu Yin.I thought it would take a little more effort, but I didn't expect to ask the question in a few words, but the person directly asked for 10 taels of silver to bail him out.Jia Lian was not that kind of foolish person, after so many years in the social circle of the capital, he knew in his heart that this was Mo Han's method, which not only gave the Jia family face, but also punished the Xue family.

Although 10 taels was a large amount, he didn't feel sorry for whoever was in the Xue family, and he didn't use his money, so he went back immediately.

Only Mrs. Jia Muwang and the Xue family's mother and daughter were left waiting in the room. They were all shocked when they heard 10 taels, and they really opened their mouths.

Mrs. Wang has long regarded the Xue family's money as her own, so she is not willing to do so, she blames Jia Lian for not being able to tell people clearly that this is a relative of the Rongguo Mansion.

Jia Lian was also very well-behaved, and quickly put on a reluctant look: "Originally it was 15 taels, but I said it anyway, only to see that 5 taels were reduced for our empress's sake. Yes. If my wife and aunt don’t believe me, just ask someone to go again, unfortunately I paid a few hundred taels of silver to go in.”

Speaking of this, Jia's mother didn't say anything and asked Jia Lian to try again. Naturally, Aunt Xue didn't dare to complain, and don't make more trouble at that time.Even though he felt sorry for the money, his son was his foundation, so he had no choice but to agree and took Baochai back to collect the money.On the second day, it was still Jia Lian who went to exchange the silver to pick up Xue Pan. Who would have thought that Jing Zhaoyin would actually draw out a 3000 tael bank note to Jia Lian, implying that it was Prince Cheng En's intention.

Jia Lian was so happy that such a good thing could happen to him, he wished that Xue Pan would go out and cause trouble every day.He was not angry when he saw that Xue Pan was beaten all over with a pig's face, so he hired a carriage to take him back to Lixiangyuan.

We don't need to talk about how Aunt Xue's heart aches, but Jia Lian is grateful for Mo Han's kindness, completely changed her previous dislike of Mo Han, and from time to time speaks well of the Lin family in front of the old lady and the old man.
