Sister of the Treasure of the Red Chamber is quitting

The previous article mentioned that the descendants of Jia's family came to report the funeral with Baochai, and Shen Yu detailed the matter of Zhen and Jia's family's downfall. It didn't bypass Mr. Shi, what exactly did he hand over to save the lives of the whole family.Baochai has no other intentions to know about this matter, but wants to find out what her mother used to save her brother in her previous life.

Shen Yu only thought that she missed her aunt, Mrs. Wang, and didn't think too much about it. She smiled and said, "Mrs. Shi is shrewd, and she is a person who understands everything. What she ordered her servants to send is exactly what Jia Jiazu uploaded. , is also what I want most today." He lowered his voice and leaned over and said in a low voice: "There are two things in that box, one is the tiger head card bestowed by the Tai and Zu when Li Dynasty was established, and the other is half a soldier talisman, specially made It was used to mobilize the old department of the Jia family in Ping'an Prefecture. It was also the luck of the Jia family. If it was called out when the family was raided, I am afraid that Jia Amnesty, who copied the noble, would not escape death. They lose money to save their lives, don't they mean letting go?"

Baochai pondered for a moment after hearing this, and secretly sighed that he was afraid that he had similar things at home, and he had better hand them over obediently before his superiors got impatient, so as to save himself all this trouble.Then I suddenly remembered that my aunt in the previous life asked my mother if she put any tokens in her dowry as a dowry. It is estimated that Mrs. Wang has a few things in her mind over the years of presiding over Zhongfu.I won't ask any more questions at the moment, just turn the page over and don't mention it.

When the hanging day came, Baochai went back to her mother's house first, and then went to Jia's house by car with Mrs. Xue.Shen Yu still had to work in the yamen, and besides, he was embarrassed on both sides, so it would be better if he didn't go at all.

Mrs. Xue left her eldest son and daughter-in-law to look after the children at home, and only brought her two daughters to express condolences.The family went out early, thinking that they could still help Mrs. Wang if they rushed to Jia's mansion.The Jia family is still living in the original house on Rongning Street, and now the Internet allows them to move after the funeral of Mrs. Jia, which is considered a last respect.

Mrs. Shi was eighty-one years old, and it was also a happy funeral. When Xue's family arrived, the coffin had already been tied up, and the clansmen released from the prison by Jia's family were kneeling on the left and right, and weeping.Hearing drums beating twice outside, Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng came out together and saw that it was Xue's carriage, so they hurriedly brought their servants to surround it.At this time, Mrs. Xue just got out of the car, and the three of them hugged each other and cried tightly when they met. It was Baochai and Baoqin who came down from behind to help and persuade them one by one before coaxing them down.

At that moment, Mrs. Wang took Mrs. Xue to the house, leaving Sister Feng outside to support her.After entering Jia's mansion, go east and go to Jia Mu's main courtyard first. Now the coffin is also parked here. After the ceremony, Jia pardons Jia Zheng and other coffins stored in Tiekan Temple. Go to the ancestral grave in Jinling for burial.It was still early, and before the ceremony started, Mrs. Wang took Mrs. Xue, Baochai and Baoqin, and Mrs. Jia made incense and kowtowed, cried a few times, bowed to each other, then went to the big clothes and sat down to chat with tea .

The funeral ceremony brought by Xue's family had been placed in the outside room and filled into Jia's father-in-law. Now, taking advantage of no one's attention, Mrs. Xue took out another 5000 taels of silver note from her bosom and stuffed it into Mrs. Wang, saying: "Take it here." Well, this is my own opinion, and the children don't have much opinion. You are going back to Jinling now, you must be short of money, and money is not as good as money for poor families and rich people." Mrs. Wang is still waiting to refuse, Xue The wife persuaded again: "Baoyu can't find a living for a while now, how can I support such a big family if I don't save some?" With no choice, Mrs. Wang had no choice but to shyly reach out to take the bank note and hide it in her bosom, saying, "I have invited all relatives today. This is also for the purpose of dividing the family. The old lady is gone, and the two rooms can’t eat a pot, so they simply divided up. In fact, there is nothing more to divide, just staring at the little thing left behind by the old lady. .Originally, the public treasury was completely cleaned up, but now it is all relying on the dowry of the female relatives to barely survive, and when the funeral is over, the family will be separated, and there will be two families in the future."

She spoke plainly, everyone in the Xue family knew that they must have gone through a lot of embarrassment.Nowadays it is always proud that brothers live together as a family, and they are not willing to mention the matter of family separation easily. Now they are even arguing in front of the old man's spirit.The master of the second room, Jia Zheng, is the second son of Mrs. Shi. If the old lady did not say anything, the eldest son, Jia She, would just drive his family out of the house. Still prevailed.

About half an hour later, all the hangers had arrived, and the ceremony officer called for the hanging to begin.The relatives who came to hang the sacrifice stood together in a family in order of relatives, relatives, and relatives, all of whom were dressed in plain clothes and weeping.When the firecrackers are burned out, the ritual officials will sing the salute. The family will sacrifice first, and the foreign guests will sacrifice later.On the east side of the hall stood a tribute student, holding a bouquet of incense to distribute to the people who came up to pay homage, and another tribute student occupied the west side to help sing and understand who the kowtows below were, and they had something to do with Mrs. Shi.After each household took turns, the ceremony officer ordered firecrackers to be set off and whips to be set off. Even if relatives all came to see off Jia Mu, the old man could just rest assured and go to bliss.

After the funeral, it is customary for the host family to prepare a table to thank relatives and friends, but now that the Jia family is involved in lawsuits and the family situation is in decline, people who are farther away are unwilling to stay for dinner. During the dinner.After three rounds of Sujiu, I saw Jia Amnesty standing up with his cup in his hands, his eyes red with red circles, and he cupped his hands towards the dough balls around him. After everyone put down their chopsticks, he said, "Thank you, relatives, for your kindness. Now that the family affairs have been decided, we still have to do it now." I trouble everyone to be a witness and help you out of the last trouble." Then another Jia clan elder stood up and blushed and said, "The old man Xing Yan stood up to be just, it is the eldest son and second son of the Xifu Jia clan who separated the family. Please bear witness to this matter.”

Those who were still sitting at the banquet should have heard the news a long time ago, and no one objected. They just quietly listened to the old man take out a list of Jia's mother's body and dissect it one by one.The land for worship and the ancestral house in Jinling were not confiscated, and all were distributed to the eldest son according to the ritual system. The gold and silver items in Mrs. Shi's dowry also went to the first room, and only some clumsy and difficult to move things were given to the second room. There are more than ten acres of Susukida, as if the tenants of Zhuangzi were separated.

Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang lowered their eyes and acquiesced to the matter. Seeing that there was no dispute between the Jia brothers, everyone agreed to the split, and after a few chopsticks they all wanted to leave.Mrs. Xue was taking her daughter to bid farewell to her sister. As soon as she entered the main room where the spirit was still alive, she saw Yuanyang arguing with someone holding a box with tears on her face.Unprepared, the maid slammed headfirst into the old lady's coffin. Baochai was so close, she subconsciously took two steps forward to stop her, but accidentally asked her to take her, and they fell to the ground together. The sons rushed up again to hold the mandarin ducks, and Fu Baochai, who helped Baochai get up, saw outsiders coming in. The mandarin ducks broke away from the women's hands, turned around, knelt down and kowtowed and cried with Shi Taijun.

Others didn't look like her, so he quickly persuaded her: "I heard that the old lady passed away happily and didn't suffer. Could it be that the old lady didn't love you earlier, so why are you making trouble with her behind her back?" Yuanyang just hugged the box and mourned Weeping: "I swore early on that I would serve my ancestors for the rest of my life. Before the first seven days have passed, some scumbags have already made up their minds to be scumbags. If I am in a hurry, I will just kill myself and go with the old lady. I just call these people bamboo baskets." It's useless to fetch water!" Baochai asked someone to help her up and stood beside her, rubbing her waist and saying: "Who is she to come up with such a dirty idea? What kind of place is this? How can you be so messy. Today, the relatives of the family You all come to see off your ancestors, if you have any grievances, just tell us, we are all in charge of you, don't bother, so as not to disturb the ancestors."

The relatives who came in to bid farewell all nodded in response. Yuanyang heard that there were so many people upholding justice, so she didn't want to die for a while, knelt down and kowtowed to the coffin of Mrs. Shi and said: "The old ancestor let go before leaving." My body deed, my parents died a few years ago, and now I have nothing but my brother and sister-in-law. I hate this sister-in-law for coming to me and saying strange things, only saying that the elder wants to take a concubine. Bah! The two masters are sincere, loyal and filial people, so they would do such a filial piety and chaos! They even walked up to me and said that they must have bribed outsiders to spoil the name of the elder. "

The relatives also said that this is impossible, how can an old lady want to take a concubine before the first seven days.Besides, the mandarin duck girl is the most important person around Shi Taijun, and she must be treated as an elder. How can she be so insulting, it must be a disgusting idea that the people below can't come up with.Yuanyang's sister-in-law was also in the mourning hall, but seeing her sister-in-law making things worse, she covered her face and tried to sneak out.Unexpectedly, there were people with sharp eyes who saw her and pointed at her: "Wu that wife is what this maid said is a dirty woman?" After letting her go down, the nose is not the nose and the eyes are not the eyes. He made a fist and apologized to his relatives.

Baochai stood aside and saw that Yuanyang's eyes were red with hatred. She was afraid that she would not think about it any more, so she said aloud: "Since you are free now, do you have a place to go?" Yuanyang turned to look at her, tears streaming down her cheeks. Came down and said: "I was born in my family. My home is where my ancestors are. If my ancestors are gone, I don't have any place to live." Baochai then said, "It's not suitable for you to stay here." , how can there be any reason why it is wrong for a servant to find a master? In this case, why not follow me to Xue's house first, our house enshrines the old master of the Muni Academy, you just follow her to read a few volumes of scriptures for the old ancestor." Yuanyang knew that it was good or bad, Aunt Xue had spoken out to save her own life, if she didn't say it, she would be a buried corpse tomorrow, so she first kowtowed to Jia Mu's coffin, then turned to kowtow to Baochai and said: "Thank you, Aunt Xue, for your mercy. Don't say chant scriptures with the master, even if you twist your hair with the master and become a sister-in-law, you are willing to guard the spirit with the ancestors!"

At that moment, Yuanyang opened the box that she had been carrying all along and showed it to everyone. It was indeed a contract and some simple rewards.The eldest lady Xing who was released only after the old lady died said, "You are too thoughtful, who is afraid that you will not be able to bring something out?" He kowtowed to the coffin board and said, "Old Ancestor, I'm going to read scriptures with you." After speaking, she stood up and stood behind Mrs. Xue, and naturally no one in the Jia family stopped her.

When Mrs. Xue and Mrs. Wang said their annoyance and took their leave, there was an extra person in the carriage.Yuanyang knelt down and knelt down with Mrs. Xue and Baochai, ignoring other things, and cried: "The old ancestor walked on the front foot, and the lady on the back foot went to Lingling's bed to search for something. The things at home were already divided that afternoon, and they didn't even know what to do. The things used by the old ancestors are not willing to let go, and they have to be cleaned up before fulfilling their wish. Those so-called clumsy furniture are all used by the old man when he left, so it is not too bad luck!" Mrs. Xue was angry and angry after hearing this. Frightened, she trembled all over and said, "Why didn't you say this just now?" Baochai hurriedly stopped the leader and said, "She is a servant, how can she talk about the master's family like that, and she will die! Besides, the Jia family is now up and down. It’s tight, of course a few taels of silver should be taken into consideration.”

Yuanyang cried and said: "It's only Miss Bao who is willing to think about people's good. The eldest wife is really shameless who wants money. She is as poor as crazy and moves things to her yard when she sees them. If the second wife didn't stop me from talking with her After a quarrel, the old lady even dared to move the mattress under her body." Then she turned to Baochai: "A few days ago, the old lady told me to go to the warehouse to pick up things and store them outside for delivery. Aunt Xue, thank you for your kindness that day, there will always be three or five days, and I will ask someone to send it there. I planned to go with my ancestors today, and I don’t know who else can take care of it. Serving..." As he spoke, he arrived at the door of Xue's house. Baochai asked Ying'er and Bailu to accompany Yuanyang to the quiet room where the old master lived. I just went home after dinner.

Sure enough, three days later, Yuanyang begged Xue's family to send two assistants to go outside with her, and when they came back, the two assistants worked together to carry a box to the door of Shen's house.Baochai came out and saw that it was a mandarin duck, so he asked someone to serve tea and let her sit and eat slowly.How dare mandarin ducks take big?I personally went forward to open the box and looked at her: "There are a few things inside. One is the Guanyin of Hetian jade, the other is the Wenwang Ding of banana leaf jelly, the other is the rhino horn cup for progress, and the other is a full set of pure gold. In front of Leisi, there is another house, Zhuangzi with dozens of acres of land in the capital." Baochai looked at them one by one, and took out the land deeds of the house and Zhuangzi and put them aside: "After my uncle and the others help Ling go south to Jinling, you will Send these two items to my aunt, I think these are specially reserved for them, but it’s just because the Elder Master doesn’t want to give it to me clearly, so I just skipped it from me.”

The Jia family can't keep those four things in front of them now, even if they sell them, they won't be able to buy them at a good price. They might as well use them to make face with others and pave the way for them. Mrs. Jia really planned to the bottom of her heart for her grandson.The mandarin ducks also knew their intentions, so they had no choice but to accept the deed of the house and land with a smile. Baochai waved her hand and told Bailu to open the makeup box and took out three 2000 taels silver notes to give to her: "These 6000 taels count as I bought the first four items. The bank note is from the bank, and when the time comes, it will be sent to the aunt together with the deed, and it will not be in vain for the love of the ancestors." There are a few angry words in it, and the mandarin ducks dare not argue, kowtow After getting up and being blessed again, I brought good things and followed the buddy back to Xue's house.As long as Jia Amnesty is still in Beijing, Yuanyang will never dare to go back to Jia's house, for fear that she will be either a concubine or a martyr the next day, and no one else cares about a maid's life or death.
