Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 178: Joy Begets Sadness

Lai Da ran over in a hurry, only to see King Zhongshun sitting there calmly, men, women and children from most of the mansion gathered, waiting for King Zhongshun's judgment.Seeing this scene, he swallowed back the words he was going to say, his calves kept trembling, he kept wiping his sweat, and he couldn't speak anymore.

For Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng, now that catastrophe is imminent, how can there be any happy event.

Yongze was obviously not prepared for this sudden incident, so he pointed at Lai Da and said: "What kind of happy event, the king will be happy too."

When Lai Da saw the question, he could only reply tremblingly: "Uncle Xiaolan is in high school." Because he was afraid of King Zhongshun's authority, he spoke in a very low voice, but there was a dead silence at that time, but Li Wan was protecting his son, but he heard it clearly. I was overjoyed suddenly.It's really not easy for her to be orphaned and widowed all these years, she puts all her hopes on her son, she never thought that his son would save her face at such a critical time.From now on, she can also feel proud, and can have a seal without having to look at anyone.I don't know whether it's joy or thinking of the hardships of these years, a lot of sadness came to my heart, and the tears seemed to increase more than before.

Although it was an extremely joyous event, a catastrophe was imminent, and she and her son didn't know how to get on with it. Everyone was in danger, so how could she dare to show any joy.The mood at this moment is just like pouring a five-flavored bottle, with indescribable ups and downs.

Yongze asked one more question: "What about high school?"

Lai Da replied truthfully: "I won the No. 20 seven in the martial arts exam."

Yongze glanced at the crowd, and said unhurriedly: "Who is this Uncle Xiaolan, come out and have a look."

Jia Lan heard that he was called and had to go. He glanced at his mother and then at his grandfather in a panic, but he didn't know what was going on, so he got out of the queue and kowtowed to King Zhongshun.

Yongze saw that he was still young, wearing a straight gown with eggplant ash, his appearance was rather handsome, and his stature was also strong. In terms of his speech and behavior, his facial features and appearance were naturally incomparable to Baoyu's, but he was a bit more handsome angry.

Jia Lan saluted respectfully, but she didn't dare to look up at King Zhongshun, feeling uneasy.

Yongze smiled: "Okay, okay." Then he said to Jia Zheng: "This kid can be taught!"

So he asked Jia Yucun to take people to count the items that had been handed in. King Zhongshun laughed when he saw that there were many prohibited items: "It's so courageous for a mere government office. It’s a bit bold to be a noble concubine. Come here and register these one by one, but the evidence is as solid as a mountain.” Then he ordered people to lock up all these people, the head of the family is burdened with crimes Those who have been sent to the prison first, and the rest of the servants, women and family members, etc., first find a place to be imprisoned.

While distributing affairs, a military prison suddenly reported: "The King of Beijing is here."

King Zhongshun frowned, the two had never been very harmonious in their political views, their Shui family and Jia's family were related by marriage, so they came here at this time, there must be nothing good, thinking of this, he said very irritably: "He What to do here, it’s really nosy.”

The water-soluble sedan chair has passed the gate and entered the second gate.Then the sedan chair stopped, Shui Rong got out of the sedan chair with a bent body, Liu'er hurried up to give him a hand.

Shui Rong strode towards King Zhongshun, King Zhongshun had already got up, with a smile on his face: "Why did you startle Prince Bei, I can do it here with me, so I don't dare to bother Prince Bei anymore."

Shui Rong smiled faintly: "I came here according to the imperial decree of the emperor. Fortunately, I came here in time." Then he asked the eunuch who announced the decree to read the imperial decree. After being punished, and hearing that her mother was a widow, she was not scolded, so she moved out of the mansion and lived elsewhere.He also rewarded Jia Huan with the Duke of Rongguo.The rest ordered King Zhongshun to take care of them and investigate them.

Shui Rong couldn't figure out why the emperor made such an order, but it was just a matter of his own business.

Aunt Zhao suddenly heard that her son had become a prince. This was a great joy that fell from the sky. At that time, regardless of the presence of everyone and the two princes in front of her, she laughed loudly and attracted everyone's attention.Jia Huan was also overjoyed.

He accepted the decree happily, never thought that he would be suppressed by Baoyu all the time, never turned over, never thought that the title would fall on his head.

Jia Zheng showed a look of indifference, thinking about the foundation of his ancestors, he never thought that his generation would wither, and how he would meet his ancestors when he went underground.Jia Amnesty never thought of a joke that year, but it became a prophecy.

Immediately Jin Yiwei released Aunt Zhao's mother and son. Aunt Zhao couldn't stop laughing, danced and pulled out all the hairpins on her head. A good son. This family is mine now, it's all mine."

He went to pull the clothes on his body again, and everyone hurriedly avoided looking, thinking that Aunt Zhao was crazy.Seeing this, Jia Huan felt ashamed and indignant, hurried over to hug her mother, and dragged her away desperately.Now that he is the Duke of the country, he can't afford to lose such a big face.

Although there was a decree, Jia Huan won the title, and the imperial edict said that the Rongguo Mansion would be searched, so Jia Huan did not get the opportunity to live in the mansion.Nor will the confiscated items be returned to him.

After this farce, King Zhongshun couldn't help but look awkward, and turned back to Shui Rong and said: "Northern King and I will copy and pick up these things together."

Shui Rong clasped his hands together: "The emperor only asked me to come here to pass on an order, and besides, King Zhong was supposed to be fully responsible, so he didn't dare to overrule at will."

When Yongze heard it, it was pleasing to the ear, and he smiled slightly: "Then I'm sorry for the Northern King to make this trip."

Shui Rong was about to leave, and took another hasty look at the men and women in custody. When he saw Baoyu, he thought to himself: "Today's disaster, if you escape far away and never come back, you may have escaped."Why come to this muddy water.Now he is powerless to help, only to see if there is any way in the future.So after standing for a while, he took the sedan chair and left.

Yongze hurriedly sent someone to see him off.

Shui Rong thought to herself in the sedan chair, Daiyu still doesn't know what's going on here, if she knew, she might cry so hard.The body is better here, don't add any more pain.Internal and external troubles disturbed the water so that it was not very quiet.He returned to the palace first to reply to the order, the emperor didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and turned his back.

Shui Rong hurried back to the mansion, and walked straight to the courtyard here.Let's say Han Mu came and was talking to Daiyu, Dunhui naturally avoided it.Seeing Shui Rong came back, Han Mu quickly got up and saluted.Shui Rong was still a little at a loss, after all, this was his former mother-in-law, and he was a junior, so he rushed to return the gift.

Daiyu said with a smile, "My lord came back too early."

Shui Rong frowned and said: "I came back after finishing the matter in hand." He glanced at Han Mu again and said: "I don't know that Madam is here, but I'm a little rash."

Looking at her former son-in-law, Han's mother was full of thoughts, and naturally thought of her passed away daughter, and time flew by so fast.She smiled softly again: "The old lady came to pay her respects to the concubine, and by the way came to propose marriage for our family's Qi'er."

Shui Rong heard that Fang said: "Mrs. Lao Lao has made this trip, do the two people's horoscopes still match?"

Mother Han nodded with a smile: "The fortune teller said they are an excellent couple, and the boy in our family is lucky. It is also an honor for our Han family to be willing to grant the princess to him."

For her sister's future, Shui Rong naturally puts more emphasis on her sister's future, but now she has other things on her mind, and she doesn't want to ask too much, so she said to Daiyu: "The princess is a sister-in-law, and the elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Make up your mind. I still have something to do, I need to take care of it." After saying that, he went out without even having time to change his clothes.

Daiyu was stunned for a moment, thinking that he would be able to give him an idea when he came back. After all, she couldn't make decisions rashly on such a big matter, so she didn't expect to throw it to her again.

Mother Han talked to her for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, she wanted to say goodbye, and Daiyu hurriedly said that she would save food.Mother Han laughed and said, "You don't have to eat. Now the two families are also in-laws, so there are not so many courtesies. Wait until you are free, and then come to greet the princess."

Daiyu hurriedly said, "I'm sorry." Then she asked Xiyue to see her off.

Shui Rong heard that Han's mother had left, so he came here.

Dai Yu just talked to Shui Rong: "Mrs. Cai Han said that the date should be fixed, but the prince has nothing to say in front of her. As I said, I have to discuss it with the prince. No matter what, I have to go next year, don't worry. "

Shui Rong nodded and said, "You've done a very thorough job."

Daiyu said with a smile: "I have to be more careful, otherwise the prince will catch my little mistake again later."

But Shui Rong pulled Daiyu to sit beside her, and said softly to Daiyu, "I'm telling you something, but you don't feel too sad after listening."

Daiyu was very surprised and quickly asked: "What happened, have you been hiding it from me?"

Shui Rong said: "I didn't want to hide it from you, this matter just came out today. Rongguo Mansion suffered a catastrophe, your two uncles are now in prison, and the mansion has also been confiscated. Baoyu and others have been imprisoned. I heard that your second aunt also died."

Shui Rong spoke extremely softly, Daiyu was stunned for a while, and didn't recover for a while.

Shui Rong took her hand again and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Even if something big happens, I'll take care of it for you."

Daiyu rolled down two lines of tears, choked up and unable to speak.After all, it was also her maternal grandfather's house, the place where her mother grew up, and also the place where she grew up.

Shui Rong whispered in her ear again: "The matter has come out, I will pay attention to the next step. I heard that Luo has been accused of many crimes, and it may be difficult to get rid of it."

Daiyu just cried: "What's the matter with Baoyu? Since he's gone, why come back?"

Shui Rong sighed: "There are some things that can't be avoided no matter what they hit. Don't be too sad, I will do my best in the inside. But now I can't say anything. I heard people say that King Zhongshun has A few cruel officials are used to being swift and decisive in handling affairs, and they are very dignified. Besides, if the emperor is determined to talk about the Jia family, it may be more or less auspicious."

Daiyu didn't open her mouth to ask for anything from Shui Rong, but now she looked like an outsider, but she couldn't look at all this with a cold face.
